Big THANK YOU to Everyone Involved in Our New Batting Cage Project!

We are incredibly proud to announce the completion of the new batting cage—and even more proud of the amazing teamwork that made it happen!

A huge shoutout to Brandon, Dan, and Chad for digging out the old base and building the frame.

Thank you to Revoswel Truss and Lumber for delivering the frame wood, and to Austin with Plotz Heavy Industries LLC for coordinating the delivery of the new base rock with Andrew from ATD Excavating & Demolition.

Austin also deserves special thanks for installing the new base from start to finish—an incredible effort!

Thank you to Patty, Andrew & Brianna, Chris, Austin, Brittany, Megan, Jacob, and Mark for laying and rolling out the turf, and to Blake, Mark, Chris, Dusty, Megan, and Brittany for placing the boards.

And finally, to Mark, Blake, Chris, Megan, Tracy, Laura, and Brittany for putting up the new batting cage.

Special thanks to Nathan with Ace Lawn Care for bringing down the rest of the rock to place around the batting cage—your help tied everything together!

This project also wouldn’t have been possible without the generous support of The Cedar Rapids Kernels Foundation, whose grant helped make this vision a reality. We’re incredibly grateful for their investment in youth sports and our community.

This project wouldn’t have been possible without the dedication of the Swisher Youth Sports board members. The behind-the-scenes work—planning, developing, coordinating, communicating, and grabbing what was needed—was vital to this project’s success.

And most importantly, to all the volunteers who showed up, pitched in, and made this possible—thank you.

Your hard work will not go unnoticed. This is what community looks like, and because of you, our athletes now have an amazing new space to grow and play. Let's Play Ball!
