SUMMER LITTLE LEAGUE CAMP

 Join The Baseball Company for our annual Summer Baseball Camp. 

This year's camp is June 13th-17th from 9am-12pm at McIntire Park.

In this camp, we will be using group and individual based instruction for all skill levels and abilities within certain age restrictions. No matter if it's your first year getting to know the game or you are a seasoned veteran, our camp has something to teach you. Dividing the groups into different skill levels, mainly by age, we will first start learning perfect fundamentals before moving on to more advanced techniques within the game. We will be covering everything from proper warm-up, hitting techniques, fielding, pitching and catching.

A number of our instructors from The Baseball Company will be running this camp. They are more than qualified to work with any player, regardless of skill level or position. We understand that building a solid foundation must be accomplished before adding more advanced techniques and thought processes to attain a high level of play. 

Each day a new schedule and new drills will emerge to keep the interest level peaked to encourage a positive learning environment. At each days end we will also play controlled games on the field for the players to show off the new skills they have learned in a real time game environment with real situational game play.

Please join us at McIntire Park, and get in those extra reps to aid in your players continued success this season as well as off-season drills to improve throughout the year.

DATES: June 13th - 17th
COST: $300

Limited spots available!

Parents and Coaches,

With an expectation that the weather tomorrow may be problematic, we have decided to postpone the fundraiser packet drop-off.  For now, all games are still on but you should monitor the website and weather line for updates.

With this decision, we are going to extend the “Line Drives for Lights” fundraising to June 5th.   Players will be able submit their packets and select their prizes during their designated hitting marathon time slot (coaches will share time slots).

Crowdrise fundraising will also extend to June 5th.   As of today, we have raised more than $4,000 through the site with 4 players over $500 raised.  With the extended fundraising window, there is still time to set-up a page for your player.


Grand Prizes and team prizes will be tallied and announced prior to the 4:30pm Championship Games.   In addition to earned prizes, players will get a raffle ticket for every $25 raised.  Raffle prizes include gift cards, baseball training sessions, and “Snack Shack” tokens.   We will raffle these prized off prior to the 4:30pm games.
