Hastings Softball Boosters offers an indoor leased space in the Westview Mall called "The Dugout". 

This space offers batting cages, tee stations, soft toss machines, and miscellaneous fitness workout equipment. 

Pitching/catching can also be done here if no one else is signed up for hitting.  But it will be the responsibility of the parent to change space to pitching use and to return the space back to normal for hitting use when finished.
