USE OF PITCHER BATTING SCREEN FOR CAPE CORAL'S OVER 50 SENIOR SOFTBALL LEAGUE

THE USE OF "A BATTING SCREEN" IS AN EFFORT TO PROVIDE A SAFER ENVIROMENT FOR THE PITCHERS IN OUR LEAGUE.  THE CURRENT SITUATION ALLOWS FOR A MUCH HIGHER LIKELYHOOD FOR A LIFE THREATENING INJURY.... MOST PITCHERS IN "OUR" LEAGUE ARE IN EXCESS OF 70 YEARS OLD.  THE REACTION TIME TO A BALL HIT DIRECTLY BACK AT THE PITCHERS HEAD... IS VERY LIKELY TO BE INDEFENCEABLE, EVEN WITH SUPIRIOR REFLEXES. 

THIS IS A RECREATIONAL SOFTBALL LEAGUE FOR SENIOR SOFTBALL PLAYERS FROM 50  TO IN EXCESS OF 80 YEARS OLD. THIS WILL BRING A MUCH SAFER ENVIROMENT AND PROVIDE  "OUR" BEST TO HELP CONTROL THE CHANCE PROTECT A PLAYER "IN THE ONE POSITION",  WHERE THE MOST SERIOUS TYPE INJURY MIGHT OCCUR.  THIS
ACTION WILL NOT TAKE ANYTHING FROM THE GAME ..... IT WILL ONLY HELP PREVENT
A SERIOUS INJURY FROM OCCURING!
