Starting 9 Baseball Camp

Parents and Campers,

I would like to take this opportunity to invite you to the 18th annual Starting 9 Baseball Camp. We focus on teaching the basic fundamental baseball skills needed to be competitive on and off the field. Each camper will leave camp with improved knowledge of the game and a variety of drills they can practice on their own. Our goal for each day is that every camper will improve their skills while having fun. I look forward to seeing you this summer!

  • AWARDS WILL BE PRESENTED AT A CEREMONY THE LAST DAY OF CAMP!
