2009 CAL BASEBALL CAMPS



Join the experienced and knowledgeable CAL Baseball Coaching Staff this summer at one of our 2009 Baseball Camps. Camp instruction includes position specific training, fundamental skill development, and drills concentrating on throwing, hitting, pitching/catching, and defensive techniques. Game play focuses on overall skill development, incorporating all aspects of the game. Players are grouped according to both age and ability levels, placing players of similar abilities and positions in the same group to create a more effective learning environment.

 

Evans Diamond, the home of Golden Bear Baseball, will play host to all camps. Campers will learn and train in the new, state of the art batting cage facilities. The latest equipment is used to provide campers with a safe and fun camp experience.
