Glacier Field & Facility
276 State Street Struthers, OH 44471
The Glaciers Dome
The Glaciers offer a state-of-the-art heated and air-conditioned indoor practice facility that’s comprised of a turf infield dome, a batting barn with a rubber floor, and an observation area.
Infield
The dome area includes a 12,600 SF infield with adjustable, in-ground bases to allow players to adjust to the distance for their age group.
There are four portable pitching mounds for bullpens or on-field throwing at distances of 46 feet, 50 feet, 54 feet, and 60.5 feet. This gives players the opportunity to get their pitching work done without needing to measure the distance for each competition level.
The dome also includes three small nets for pitching, and two 10’x10’ screens.
Batting Barn
The 6,000 SF batting barn includes adjustable batting mats and three long cages that can be divided into a total of six hitting areas. There are two portable mounds for each cage to throw live batting practice, six L-Screens, and three net dividers for soft toss and drill work.
A HitTrax Machine, with motion sensors, is offered to display batting practice, bullpens, launch angles, velocity, spin rates, etc.
Cages are equipped with Drive-Line Axe bats, tees, 300 baseballs (100 per cage), standard bats, helmets, and other equipment used for training. They also have 24/7 security cameras.
With a dozen tees and six L-screens, an exceptional amount of work can be accomplished during practices. There is padding along the fences for the safety of both players and coaches.
Observation Lobby
The lobby area of the facility includes a monitor connected to a rotating camera that allows parents to observe practices and lessons.
Additional features include:
• Portable pitching/fielding pockets for skill development
• Weighted baseballs and netting for arm care programs and velocity training
• Security cameras that allow parents to watch practices or lessons in the lobby of the facility
