2021 NOLA FASTPITCH @ JUNCTION PLACE SPORTPSLEX!

How it Works

NOLA Fastpitch and Junction Place Sportsplex have expanded the scope of their existing Facility Usage agreement in an effort to better serve the needs of NOLA Fastpitch Participants. Essentially, when their team is "in season", participants of NOLA Fastpitch will pay a monthly fee of $60 (per family) directly to Junction Place Sportsplex in exchange for the services outlined in the next two sections.

What Stays the Same?

When "in season", each individual team of NOLA Fastpitch will host one team practice each week at Junction Place Sportsplex. Practice times are scheduled on either Wednesday or Thursday evenings and are set by NOLA Fastpitch coaches. During NOLA Fastpitch practice time slots, there will be no other organizations able to schedule team practices at Junction Place Sportsplex

What Else is Included?

In addition to weekly team practice, all NOLA Fastpitch participants who are paying the $60 Facility Usage Fee will be able to access the facility for individual or group work outside of their dedicated team practice time slot. The services available may vary slightly, depending on the time of the day and what space/equipment is available. The next section will outline the details!

Additional Services Explained

• All participants of NOLA Fastpitch who are paying the $60/month Facility Usage Fee will be able to access Junction Place Sportsplex from 3:00 PM-9:00 PM Monday-Friday and 9:00 AM-12:00 PM Saturday and Sunday (with the expectation of expanding weekend access as we exit out of the Corona Virus Pandemic).
• Facility access for each player will include entry for parent/guardian at no additional cost. That is to say, each player will be able to have a parent/guardian to pitch, catch, hit ground balls, etc whenever they come to the facility.
• As of today, December 8th, 2020, restrictions to building capacity as outlined in Louisiana's Phase 2 Mitigation Mandate means that we are not including access to the facility for non-NOLA Fastpitch siblings. That is not to be interpreted as when we are no longer in Mitigation Mandates siblings will be included in the $60 Facility Usage Fee. We will have to evaluate where things stand as we cross that bridge and see what options may be available. However, the $60 Facility Usage Fee does include siblings who are actively on Nola Fastpitch rosters. Example, the same family has two daughters on Nola Fastpitch teams, they will only pay one $60 a month Facility Usage Fee.
• Participants of NOLA Fastpitch can decide to continue to pay the $60/month Facility Usage Fee during "off season" months. Please know this offering and ability to freely access our facility is a limited to only participants of organizations who commit to utilizing our Weekly Team Rental option. We have decided to limit access as we understand the physical size of our building does create potential for max capacity issues and we want our folks who take advantage of this limited offer to be able to actually utilize the space. Also, this $60/month Facility Usage Fee price point is exclusive to NOLA Fastpitch.

Space and Equipment Available and When

The Monday- Friday 3:00 PM-9:00 PM & Saturday-Sunday 9:00 AM-12:00 PM time frames represent guaranteed times when participants who are current with the $60/month Facility Usage Fee will have access to the building. Below is what you can most reasonably expect to be open at specific times.

However, those classes run in 8-week increments with 2-week periods of no classes when the field would be available. Every Saturday and Sunday will see Multiple Batting Cages, Batting Tee Cages and Pitching Lanes available. Also, depending on our Birthday Party Schedule, access to all of our spaces and equipment could be made available past 12:00 PM.

General Outlook Regarding Available Space/Equipment

• If a space does not have a reservation for a team/program/private lesson, the space will be open for NOLA Participants to use
• The above outlined times represent what we can best predict will be the LEAST amount of space/ services available during the time frames listed
• There will always be space to hit in a cage, off of a tee or use a lane for pitching/throwing or straight line ground ball work
• When there are more individuals trying to utilize any space or equipment than what is available, we will institute a "Round and Rotate" policy where participants complete one round of a given activity and rotate out of the space to allow others to then do the same.
