Our vision for Legacy actually began years before we opened our doors.
In 2017, our community lost its indoor soccer facility to a fire. Years passed, and it was never rebuilt. Then, in 2024, our local batting cages closed too. One by one, the places where local athletes could practice, play and gather close to home were disappearing. We kept wondering: what if someone brought that back?
At first, the dream was indoor soccer, a place where kids and adults could play year-round again. But as we started talking with families, coaches and athletes throughout the community, we heard another need loud and clear: bring back the batting cages.
So that's where we decided to begin.
Legacy Batting Cages became the first chapter of a much bigger vision: creating welcoming, high-quality spaces where people can play, train, connect and grow. Because to us, sports have always been about more than competition. They're where confidence is built, friendships form, families gather and communities come together around something positive and shared.
We're proud of what we've built here in Englewood. And we're still listening, still dreaming and still working toward what Legacy can become.
This is just the beginning.
Six people. Three families. Zero idea what we were getting ourselves into...
Meet Shannon & Jim Grauzer, Cortney & Ryan Ley, and Krispin & James Bowman, the six humans behind Legacy.
We’re three local families who somehow became business partners, facility operators, amateur repair technicians, professional problem-solvers, and very frequent visitors to the hardware store.
You’ll find us behind the desk, fixing nets, planning what’s next, posting videos, cleaning, answering emails, or occasionally remembering that we own the place and can actually use the batting cages ourselves.
We each bring something different to Legacy, which is probably the reason this whole thing works. There’s almost always a group text happening behind the scenes, somebody fixing something, and another idea being tossed around. And somehow, between the six of us, it all comes together. Together, we’re building a place we’re proud to be part of and hopefully one our community is proud to call its own.
