THE BASEBALL COMPANY

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!
