CAMP GOALS: The instruction will emphasize the understanding and execution of proper hitting fundamentals in a simplistic form. A variety of aspects of the offensive game will be covered including swing fundamentals, bunting fundamentals, and other areas of the game. Proper drill-work will be shared to reinforce good swing mechanics. Campers will have their swings videoed and analyzed at camp for immediate feedback by our staff. Our camp will differentiate instruction based on skill and grade level by offering two different camp formats running simultaneously on our baseball and softball facilities. The younger ages (grades 2-6) will be on the softball facility, while our older ages (grades 7-12) will be utilizing the baseball facilities.
FACILITIES: The JH Rose High School athletic facility will be used for this camp. The baseball field, softball field, football field, practice fields, and practice football field will be utilized.
