This camp is open to any and all players, only limited by age and total number of players welcomed.
Baseball School Segment
Players will be grouped by age, ability, and prior experience. During the skill instruction segment, participants will be coached in several baseball skills, fundamentals, and team concepts. Members of the camp will receive instruction in a variety of areas including hitting, infield play, outfield play, pitching, double plays, sliding, position priorities, and base running. The stations are designed to reinforce fundamentals and technique through repetition and exposure to drills. All batting instruction and batting drills take place in Stanford’s million-dollar baseball cage facility. The astro-turfed cages are covered so campers are out of the direct sun light. Participants will hit every day in the cage area.
Baseball Games Segment
In the games segment of the camp, players are grouped by age and ability and teams are formed. Teams play against one another in a coach pitched game where the goal is to see that ball “put into play”. This keeps the game action fast and the pace moving quickly. This fun environment provides opportunities to improve at game speed. Many of the baseball skills learned in the baseball school segment will be put into game situations. Teams will be rotated on a daily basis and coaches will allow campers to team with a maximum number of friends as well. Our goal is that each camper will play from 12-15 games each week. Coach Esquer believes that in this low pressure environment kids can develop their skills and love for the game. Games will be played on Sunken Diamond, or the adjoining astro-turf and grass fields.
