My Project

Our baseball team needs the safety screen to help them practice defensive strategies during practice. The screen can be set up behind first base to allow multiple opportunities in practice without having to chase baseballs all over the field. Players could stand behind the screen as they wait for their turn to practice at first base. A second net could be placed behind second base to teach our players how to execute double plays. Another way our team can use the screen, would be to set one in the outfield and allow a coach to monitor the athletes in another angle from a safe distance.

Our baseball team works hard each practice to improve their skills and these screens would make sure they are not wasting their effort with each play.

This piece of equipment is extremely versatile and could be used for many drills to help our athletes improve each day in a safe environment!
