CageList Company Principles
Built for the Backyard. Powered by Community.
At CageList, we believe in more than just renting batting cages — we're building a movement. These company principles are the heartbeat of our platform, guiding how we work, how we serve, and how we grow. They’re designed to inspire our team, our cage owners, and our players and families, while protecting what makes CageList special.
⚾ 1. Decentralize Baseball & Softball Training
We believe the future of training doesn't live in a warehouse. It lives in backyards, neighborhoods, and communities. CageList empowers everyday families and coaches to unlock the value of their batting cages — making private training accessible, personal, and local.
Why it matters: We’re flipping the old facility model on its head. Anyone can own their own D-BAT-level training space, without the lease or overhead.
🤝 2. Trust is Earned, Safety is Mandatory
Every session on CageList starts with mutual trust. That means cages are clean, nets are secure, rules are clear, and safety comes first — always. We require cage owners to complete a safety checklist and encourage players and families to report any issues so we can protect the entire community.
Why it matters: Safety builds trust. Trust builds loyalty. Without it, we can’t grow.
💡 3. Empower Micro-Entrepreneurs
Our hosts are the future of baseball and softball training. We’re here to help them not only earn passive income, but build pride and professionalism around their cages. From marketing tools to insurance and support — we exist to help them win.
Why it matters: When a host thrives, a neighborhood thrives.
🌱 4. Start Small, Think Big, Move Fast
We encourage experimentation, agility, and action. Whether you're a team member, host, or power user — move with urgency and intention. Progress beats perfection. What matters most is helping the next player find the next cage, faster and better than before.
Why it matters: This is a startup. Momentum wins.
🧼 5. Keep it Clean, Keep it Classy
Cages should be presentable. Communication should be respectful. Listings should be honest. Whether you're hosting a college prospect or a 6-year-old slugger, the standard is the same: be a pro.
Why it matters: Your cage is your brand. CageList is a reflection of every one of them.
🔁 6. Give First. Earn Later.
We believe in leading with generosity — knowledge, support, effort. Whether it's helping a new host set up their cage or giving a first-time player a great experience, the CageList culture is about being a good teammate. That’s how we win long-term.
Why it matters: Community is our competitive edge.
📈 7. Build for Impact, Not Ego
We measure success by the number of athletes served, cages booked, and lives changed — not likes, titles, or buzzwords. Our job is to solve real problems for real people in the baseball and softball world.
Why it matters: When we focus on real outcomes, growth follows.
🧩 8. Stay Humble, Stay Hungry
There’s always a better way — a cleaner flow, a smarter booking tool, a more helpful resource for our users. We’re committed to improving CageList every day, brick by brick, booking by booking.
Why it matters: Excellence compounds when you stay curious.
🛡️ 9. Protect the Movement
CageList isn’t just a marketplace — it’s a mission. We protect it by holding high standards, educating our users, and building tools that elevate the experience for everyone. Our brand is built on care, consistency, and credibility.
Why it matters: This platform is yours as much as it is ours.
🚀 10. One Team, One Mission
Whether you’re a part-time coach, a full-time founder, a passionate parent, or a first-time host — we’re all here to make training better, easier, and more accessible for the next generation. We don’t compete with each other. We compete with “the way it’s always been.”
Why it matters: Culture scales. Let’s build one worth scaling.
Final Word
CageList is more than a business — it’s a belief. That players should train where they live. That hosts can become leaders. That baseball and softball can be more inclusive, affordable, and fun.
These principles are how we’ll get there.
