The Ruffnecks play and practice on high quality surfaces. We devote a considerable portion of our financial resources to making good facilities available to our teams and players. We have our own, private indoor hitting facility for workouts year round.  We also use the expansive indoor “bubble” at Harvard University (pictured below), where we conduct full-field workouts during the winter. Our facilities include the following:

Rich Gedman at the Ruffnecks Training Facility

Ruffnecks Indoor Facility

The Ruffnecks indoor hitting facility is for the use of Ruffnecks players only. Open hours and scheduled events such as team workouts and special clinics are regularly posted and updated on this site. Players and their families are welcome during all Open hitting times. Weekday hours are subject to revision based on team hitting groups and coach availability. Users are asked to keep the facility clean and the baseballs in buckets after use.  The Facility also serves as a home to comprehensive strength and conditioning equipment and treatment rooms.  There is a clubhouse atmosphere at the Facility.

Govoni Field - Babson College

Babson College: Govoni Field

The Ruffnecks program is fortunate to use Babson College’s Govoni Field as a “home field”  for it teams. Use of this field is an extraordinary privilege as Babson is one of the most professionally maintained playing surfaces in the region. The setting is comfortable for fans, parents, and college recruiters.

Babson College is quickly becoming one of the top Division III baseball programs in the Northeast.  The Ruffnecks are appreciative of the support from Coach Noone and the Babson athletic department.  Few programs are as fortunate to have as fine a facility for use by its players.

While Babson College is the “official” home of the Ruffnecks, our use of the premises is not unrestricted.  We have between 30 and 35 dates per year at Babson.  The program also maintains relationships with several additional schools and colleges as well where we play and/or practice.  At all times, the program insists on hosting games on good playing surfaces that are well groomed and maintained.

Harvard bubble

Harvard University – Indoor Bubble

Harvard University “bubbles” their entire football stadium for winter athletic activity. The Ruffnecks program utilizes this extraordinary facility for full-field winter workouts, providing our players with high-repetition practices featuring infield drills, outfield drills, and team preparation.
