Equipment question

Find a $5 bar stool at a garage sale, then bolt a milk crate to it.  Our JV team uses that setup and it works pretty well......or spend way too much money on something fancy.

Or:  "Acquire" a shopping cart with a shallow basket.  No idea where our HS Varsity team got theirs (they've had it for years), but it works extremely well for BP.

If you want to spend the money, here are two options from JUGS:

Try Hitters World, any of the following would be suitable;

Bownet Portable Ball Caddy
JUGS Back-Saver Ball Basket
The Coaches Portable Bucket Stand 

yeah, given the simplicity of the thing, id rather not spend $40-60 on it haha. that first one is basically a modified camping chair. ill jerry rig something together. thanks for the links though. for some reason i was unable to find it on eastbay. 

I just use another bucket and turn it upside down and put the one with the balls on top of it.

+1 to standballdad....why pay big $$$

You can use anything to keep from bending over.  Maybe even a freshman on his hands and knees LOL.  Another thing is if you tell your guys that it would be nice to have a shopping cart but just can't afford it or know how to get one and leave it at that - you will probably have one show up in about a week or two.  Players are resourceful 

A wheeled cart like this is very handy for field BP...  and you don't have to worry about Wal-Mart complaining about the stolen shopping cart

If the $200 is too much, maybe you can have one of the kids in shop class take it on as a project.

In the cages, we just stack buckets with lids, as opposed to flipping upside down so you don't have to dump everything out every time.  We use the buckets with wiffles as the base buckets and/or sit buckets - lightweight and easy to carry around.

You guys still have shop class?

Somehow. It's not "on the test." But it has survived so far..

Im the music teacher at my school and found an old but sturdy music stand with the top broken off. That plus a milk crate and our super handy custodian will make this happen for me in no time.
