How CageList Works
CageList is the map of where baseball actually happens — the cages, the fields, the academies, the leagues and the people who build them. Four ways in. Start wherever you already are.
places to hit, listed
backyard cages you can book
leagues and teams
guides and build articles
Four doors in
Most people arrive needing one of these four things. Pick the one that sounds like you.
Find a cage and book it
Search by town, pick a time, pay, and show up. No membership — you pay for the session and nothing else.
- Search your area. Compare cages near you on photos, price, equipment and reviews.
- Pick a time. Availability is live. Message the host first if you have questions.
- Pay securely. Stripe handles the payment. Your confirmation carries the address and the host's number.
- Show up and hit. Arrive at your slot. Everything you need is in the confirmation.
Worth knowing: most places on CageList are directory profiles — academies, fields and facilities we list so you can find and contact them. Backyard cages are the ones you can book and pay for on the spot.
No membership
Pay for the session you book. No monthly fee, no contract.
Verified listings
Real photos and reviews, so you know what you are turning up to.
Secure payments
Stripe, signed waivers, and booking support if something goes wrong.
Leagues and teams
We list leagues and teams across the country so players can find them — and help the ones with their own cage turn it into a season-long revenue line.
Little League boards
If your league owns a cage, it sits empty most of the week. Renting those hours funds equipment and keeps registration fees down — and your league keeps 100% of what it earns on its own cage.
Men's leagues
Adult leagues by city and division, so grown players can find a roster near them.
Browse men's leagues →Travel teams
Team pages, dues and practice booking — plus honest writing for parents weighing the cost.
Put yourself on the map
Three different things, often confused. Here is which one you want.
List a backyard cage
BookableYou own a cage at home and want players to book the hours you are not using. Free to list — you set the rate and the hours, and you keep 90%.
List your cage →Claim a facility profile
DirectoryYou run an academy, cage facility or training centre that is already listed. Claiming it lets you correct the details, add photos and take enquiries.
Claim your facility →Get verified as a coach
ScreenedYou give lessons and want parents to find you. Verification includes a background check, because families are handing you their kids.
Become a coach →Build your own cage

Booking questions
The ones we get asked most about paying for and turning up to a session.
No. Create a free account and book instantly — you pay for the session and nothing else.
Backyard cages are bookable: you pick a time and pay on CageList. Academies, fields and most facilities are directory listings — we publish their details so you can find them, and you arrange it with them directly. A few facilities have switched their own online booking on, and those show live availability like any backyard cage.
Cancellation policies are set by each host. Most offer a full refund when you cancel at least 24 hours ahead; the listing page states the exact policy before you pay.
Each listing spells it out. Pitching machines, balls, helmets and bats are common; some hosts offer coaching or specialist equipment as add-ons.
Yes. Use the messaging on any listing to ask about equipment, access or timing before you commit.
Payments run through Stripe with bank-level encryption, and your card details are never shared with hosts.
