Speaking frankly, The BallYard came into being when the Richmond Oval wasn’t quite able to build the cages that TDC had recommended they should after us being in there for a couple years. Once they installed theirs - which are still great for younger kids and casual, recreational usage - we were really inspired to provide to the community just what we had envisioned they would have put in place upon taking on the challenge presented in 2009 or so.

While it’s hard to believe our current facility has lasted TEN years given the challenges to date, it’s great to see that teams and players interested in taking their games to another level continue to train out of here. Hopefully the economics of the real estate market will continue to allow it to do so in years ahead.
