What Are Batting Cages?
This purpose-built sports technology allows guests of all ages and abilities to enjoy the thrill of the game as part of their socialising. Batting Cages are self-contained areas designed for practising and refining baseball, cricket or tennis skills in a controlled environment. They typically comprise a robust cage to “field” the balls hit by batters. The cage prevents balls from escaping, ensuring the safety of both the batters and spectators..
Cages are also equipped with pitching machines delivering balls at varying speeds and trajectories to simulate real-game scenarios and adjust the game play to suite the age / skill level of the player.
Located within the custom batting cage is powerful, patented experience technology. LED target screens identify points available for successfully striking the ball into a scoring zone, allowing for quality gaming graphics and an immersive experience. The ball feeder fires a ball towards the batter for them to return towards the target screen and hopefully score points!
Fun features include in-venue leaderboards, which enable guests to compete against each other. The Round Robin Gameplay mode allows groups to take turns in a batting competition, smartly adjusting to individual age and skill level.
Batting cage equipment is now extremely popular in both the leisure and entertainment sectors. For leisure venues, these cages provide a safe and structured environment where players can hone their batting techniques, improve their hand-eye coordination and enhance their overall performance.
In entertainment venues, batting cages offer customers an engaging and interactive experience, attracting individuals or groups looking for recreational activities beyond traditional arcade games or pool tables.
What are the Batting Cage Options?
Depending on the space available and the vibe you’re looking to create we offer a multi-sport option (baseball, cricket and tennis) or you can purchase just a single sport option.
The game/s you choose dictates the footprint required. The multi-sport and tennis only options require the largest: Length 10.5m, Width 4.5m and height 2.7m.
The multi-sport animation package (included) allows competitors to face a cricket bowler, baseball pitcher or tennis server in HD quality. The crowd sounds and interactive cut-scenes add to the gamifying user experience and stadium atmosphere.
For venues with limited staffing the 300 ball feeder only requires refilling every 3-6 hours depending on occupancy. The 48 ball feeder occupies less space, however will require refilling every 30 minutes.
Your package comes with a suite of software technologies which enable easy running and management of the activity as well as increased customer engagement.
Reception Control allows the activity to be operated from a central location. Lane activation, sport selection and user registration are managed efficiently by your host. Usage reports enables your business to collect, store and segregate key data from every batting session, ideal for marketing, audits and informing management decisions.
Guests enter their personal details using the User Registration portal. The software collects information about the users’ gaming preferences, skill level and handedness; a level of personalisation which increases retention.
How Will a Batting Cage Installation Benefit Your Venue?
Whether you are breathing new life into your existing venue or building a new entertainment hub from the ground up, there are several reasons why you should consider investing in equipment for batting cages.
Dwell time
Venues which offer guests a range of activities attract longer dwell times, increased F&B spend per head and encourage repeat visits. Giving your guests a reason to stay for longer will encourage them to plan their outing around the offering at your venue, rather than just popping in to kills some time. Ensuring that you provide quality F&B will prove impactful, as guests will choose to remain in your venue for their mealtime, rather than heading off after their gaming.
Entertainment value
Installing a batting cage will add a dynamic and interactive element to your venue, enhancing its overall entertainment value. Customers can enjoy the thrill of batting and competing against friends and family members, offering a unique and engaging experience beyond traditional entertainment offerings.
Skill development
Batting cages provide a structured environment for players to develop and refine their hitting skills. Whether it’s improving hand-eye coordination, mastering swing techniques or adjusting to different pitch speeds, regular practice in batting cages will facilitate skill development and enhance overall performance in baseball, cricket or tennis.
Safety
Safety is crucial when it comes to sports activities. With this in mind, batting cages offer a controlled environment where balls are contained within the enclosure, minimising the risk of injury to players and bystanders. The netting surrounding the cage ensures that the balls stay within the designated area, providing peace of mind for both participants and venue operators.
Competition
Batting cages create opportunities for friendly competition amongst guests, adding a fun element to your venue. Whether you want to host batting challenges, leagues or tournaments, the competitive aspect of batting cages will attract a diverse range of people and foster a sense of camaraderie amongst players.
Accessibility
Batting cages cater to any age and skill level. From novice players looking to learn the basics to seasoned athletes honing their techniques, they offer a welcoming environment where everyone can enjoy the batting sports.
Attractiveness to sports enthusiasts
For sports enthusiasts, batting cage equipment will entice guests to your venue. Whether it’s casual players seeking recreational fun or serious athletes looking to enhance their game, having a batting cage installed will enhance the overall appeal of your establishment and set it apart from the competition.
