Summer Baseball Camp

  • 9:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.
  • Location –The Meadowlands - Field 3
  • Ages 6-12 Boys and Girls
Our goal for the Summer Camp is to create a fun and positive environment in order to help players develop skills, gain a greater appreciation of the sport, and to prepare them to be successful at all levels. We will do this through quality instruction in all offensive/defensive skills, daily skill competitions, and live games. As well as general recurrent sessions of fitness conditioning focused on improving overall speed, agility, balance and endurance.

Coach Lax and Evans work at a level that brings out the fun in the game.

Each day will start with a review of the daily goals, followed by a dynamic warm-up and flexibility drills. Speed and proper form training will also be demonstrated and instructed.  Each day, time is set aside for scrimmaging to allow players to apply the skills learned to game situations.
