Coach Ballgame Philosophy
Attitude & Effort
Your camper will learn to respect and honor the game in an environment where success is measured by effort and teamwork, and not by winning and losing.
Leadership
Campers will be challenged to act like leaders by supporting and respecting everyone in camp: teammates, coaches, and umpires alike.
Skill Development
All participants will leave camp with a high level of understanding of proper technique in all areas of the game. By incorporating drills and competitions developed over a lifetime of playing and teaching the game, campers will gain a firm grounding in the fundamentals to build their baseball careers.
Become a “Student of the Game”
Every camper will be challenged to maximize his or her athletic potential while being encouraged to go above and beyond individual “comfort” levels. By learning new drills, techniques, and philosophies, we hope that all players will become “students of the game.” It is for this reason that campers are encouraged to play many different positions during camp.
What’s Your Nickname?
Just like A-Rod, Big Papi, Big Hurt, D-Train…everybody gets a nickname at camp! Watch Coach Ballgame in his element rattling off 75 nicknames in 100 seconds! Which one’s your favorite?
