Friday March 20th will be a C day, all TEAMS students will be treated to a free hour of baseball batting and related activities at FUTURE STARS batting cages. Batting Cage activities will run from 7:55 AM to 9:05 PM.

BY BUS:

TEAMS Buses will drop off and pick up students at the UMass Lowell Pleasant Street Parking Lot. You will need to walk down the street to FUTURE STARS 100 Pleasant St. Dracut MA 01826 (Ph. 978-957-7529). It is on the same side of the street as the UML parking lot, located in a group of old industrial buildings (you can see it from the street if you look between the buildings--it is toward teh rear of the complex).

BY CAR:

For those traveling by car FUTURE STARS is about 0.7 mile from UML, along Pleasant St (Rt 113) heading towards Dracut, its in an old mill complex on the left (look for 'Self Storage' sign), about 100 yards before reaching the lights at Lakeview Ave. For a map got to:

and hit the directions button in the upper horizontal menu.

If you're unfamiliar with the area it might be best to come to University Ave, cross afront of Cummnock Hall to the set of lights, take a right onto Riverside (Rt 113, it becomes Pleasant Street in Dracut), go past Olson (the building Mr. Rhine's office is in) and proceed for 0.7 mile, watch for the smallish mill complex on your left and the large 'Self Storage' sign (and small FUTURE STAR sign on lamp post). There's parking outside the short access road entrance to the batting facility, just pull up to the stone wall just off Pleasant St, parking perdendicular to Pleasant St and the wall.

(NOTE: Mr. Doherty once aspired to be a pro player (maybe he still does we'll have to check!) in any event you can ask him for swing tips, if in doubt.)
