Baseball/Softball Infield Skin Construction & Management
** NEW HANDS-ON COURSE! **
Date
March 11, 2009
8:00 am - 12:00pm (1/2 day)
Description
This hands-on class will train you how to select the proper infield mix for your facility based on your site-specific environment and management regime. The classroom portion of the course also will address construction of skinned areas, pitchers’ mounds, and batters’ boxes as well as proper management techniques for these areas. This class will then move from classroom to a nearby baseball field, where the hands-on learning experience allows you to get down to the ground level of proper infields construction and maintenance.
This half-day class was added to the expanding Rutgers athletic field management program in direct response to requests from participants in the three-day Athletic Field Construction and Management program.
