Baseball Camps: Batter Up!
Baseball camps just like most sports camp programs offer youth
and teens a chance to learn more about the game as well as build greater
self esteem. Many baseball camp programs are residential, and one week
sessions are common. Baseball day camp and half day camp programs are
also available. Building on the skill level of the player, these camps
tend to immerse youngsters and teens into the sport. Training drills along
with learning baseball fundamentals are often scheduled into each camp
day's sessions. A typical day at baseball camp (overnight or day) may
include some of the following:
- Team drills
- Separate position drills for positions such as pitcher and catcher
- Batting practice
- Infield and outfield training
- Offensive and defensive training
Other Programs
There are also specialty camps, such as Fast Pitch Softball Camps and
NPA Pitching Clinic Camps. Fast Pitch Softball camps, for girls and teens,
is a great way to help softball players improve for high school or to
prepare to play in college. There are a number of Fast Pitch softball
camp programs offered at different times and locations during the summer.
Look online for the summer schedule and sign up early. Another choice,
NPA Pitching camps are a great opportunity for the budding pitcher. With
a concentration on teaching the mechanics of pitching and the necessary
strength training and conditioning requirements essential for the position,
a player can improve and have a great time.
- What kind of staff works with and teaches the players? It all depends.
Some camps hire college coaches, professional coaches and major league
players.
