Small-Ball Tournament Style Baseball Camp

This camp combines both skill instruction and play and is offered to players who are in the same birth year to optimize learning potential.

The goal is to learn how to play baseball properly. Learning will be optimized through an instructional - play tournament format. The number of at-bats and defensive playing time is maximized during game play by using a mini-team format. There is no sitting out during game play.

Similar to the semi-private lessons, this program has a Waitlisted setting in the registration area. Please proceed as if you are registering in this case, as this is a default setting we use until the minimum number of players has been met. You will not be prompted for payment until the minimum numbers have been met.

Players can subsequently attend each remaining week, or drop in periodically when they wish to work on a specific skill. During any one session, players can cycle through all stations, or select a few preferred stations according to the skill or skills they wish to train that day.
