Grand Slam Baseball Camp
(Formerly known as FALCONS BASEBALL CAMP)
CAMP PHILOSOPHY
The goal of the Grand Slam Baseball Camp is for each camper to have fun while learning the fundamentals of baseball through drills and competition. Each camper shall be taught all aspects of the game, including throwing, fielding, hitting, and base-running. Each camper will have a chance to learn the specifics of pitching and catching as well as infield and outfield play from the Grand Slam Baseball Camp coaching staff.
WHO IS THIS CAMP FOR?
This camp is for anyone who loves baseball, wants to be a better player, wants to get high school and college level coaching, wants to have fun, or simply wants to try something new. The camp is designed for children who will be entering grades one through nine in the fall (roughly ages 6 through 14), and is divided into a pee-wee, junior and senior division. The pee-wee division will consist of players entering grades one through three in the fall. The junior division will consist of players entering grades four through six in the fall. The senior division will consist of players entering grades seven through nine in the fall. The players will be grouped primarily by age first, then ability when appropriate.
CAMP DIRECTOR
The Grand Slam Baseball Camp staff is headed by Camp Director Keith O’Rourke. Currently, Coach O’Rourke is the head baseball coach at Fairfield Ludlowe High School, and has guided the Falcons to state tournament appearances in each of the programs four years of existence. In 2008, the Falcons enjoyed another successful season which featured an appearance in the CIAC Class “L” State Tournament championship game, an FCIAC Central Division Championship, a final state ranking of #11, seven players whom received either all-conference or all-division recognition, one all-state selection, and four seniors who went on to play college baseball. Before guiding the Falcons, Coach O’Rourke’s experience has included four years as the head baseball coach at Joel Barlow High School in Redding, as well as a coaching stop at Division I Fairfield University. Most recently, Coach O’Rourke served as a guest instructor with the Pittsburg Pirates during Spring Training in 2006.
