Hitting Facility Paying Off

The hitting facility at the Rossville Athletic Complex at 500 Williams Street has a new look.


Carpet has been installed in the facility where the Peerless Bowling Ally once was so popular.


The facility now has two 72 foot by 16 foot batting cages and four indoor pitching mounds that provide training to more than 200 baseball/softball players weekly.

There will also be four new battling cages built on 80 foot by 16-foot concrete pads at the Rossville City Park for the 2010 softball/baseball season.

Rossville Athletics seeks training opportunities to provide athletes avenues to reach their potential.

Be A Good Sport

At one point during a game, the coach called one of his 9-year-old baseball players aside and asked, 'Do you understand what cooperation is? What a team is?'

The little boy nodded in the affirmative.

'Do you understand that what matters is whether we win or lose together as a team?'

The little boy nodded 'yes'

'So,' the coach continued, 'I'm sure you know, when an out is called, you shouldn't argue, curse, attack the umpire, or call him a knucklehead. Do you understand all that?'

The little boy nodded 'yes' again.

He continued, 'And when I take you out of the game so another boy gets a chance to play, it's not good sportsmanship to call your coach 'an idiot' is it?'

The little boy shook his head 'NO'.

'GOOD', said the coach.

'Now go over there and explain all that to your Nanna.'
