The Nest is a 60’ x 100’ indoor building that includes a 60’ W x 70’ L x 14’H fully caged turf training area designed to support a wide variety of baseball activities.
How can the cage area be set up?
The caged turf area is highly flexible and can be configured in multiple ways, including:
- One large open space for defensive work
- One to Four full-length 70-foot batting/throwing cages
- Up to 8 Shorter 35-foot cage configurations for station training
This flexibility allows JAYBAL to tailor the space to the specific needs of each age group and training session.
Who can use the Eagles’ Nest?
The Eagles’ Nest will open for use in January 12th and will initially be available to JAYBAL players ages 9–19 who have registered for the summer season.
From January through April 4th, facility access will focus on travel baseball–aged players (ages 9–19). As we establish the flow and operations of the new facility, we plan to expand opportunities for younger JAYBAL players, with age-appropriate programming beginning in the spring.
Waiver & facility access agreement
Use of the Eagles’ Nest is subject to safety, supervision, access, and conduct policies. Full waiver and facility agreements will be reviewed and signed during membership registration.

What is the plyo ball wall and how is it used?
The Eagles’ Nest features a 20-foot wide, 16-foot tall plyo wall used for throwing development. Players use specialized baseball plyo and medicine balls to work on:
- Throwing mechanics
- Arm strength
- Arm care and durability
The increased wall height allows players to safely simulate long toss indoors, making it possible to maintain throwing programs year-round.
Why was the Eagles’ Nest created?
The Eagles’ Nest was created to give JAYBAL players access to consistent, high-quality development opportunities regardless of weather or season. The goal is to provide a structured, baseball-specific environment that supports skill development, injury prevention, and long-term growth for JAYBAL players.
Having a dedicated indoor baseball space greatly increases availability and flexibility, making it easier for players to fit training into busy schedules. It also allows JAYBAL to fully utilize modern training tools and provide a more efficient, organized, and purposeful training environment.
The Eagles’ Nest was opened through the support of Matt and Mollie Perkins, to help bring this long-term vision to life for our players and families.
Will there still be JAYBAL offseason workouts at the TRAC Bubble?
We currently do not plan to use the TRAC bubble for offseason workouts this winter. All JAYBAL training will be hosted at The Eagles' Nest.
