Dear Parents and Campers:
It is time to make plans for our 5th Annual Holiday Baseball Camps. We are very excited about these camps and are looking forward to working with you and doing what we can to help you become an even better Baseball Player. The showcase camp for ages 15 through seniors in High School will be held on Saturday, December 20th, and the camp for ages 6 - 14 will be held on Monday, January 19th. January 19th is a school holiday honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Each camp will run from 10:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. In the case of inclement weather, the 15 through seniors camp will be held on Sunday, December 21st and the 6 - 14 year old camp will be held on Saturday, January 24th.
The showcase camp December 20th will consist of a pro style tryout in the morning, and games in the afternoon. In the morning athletes will be timed in the sixty yard dash, as well as graded on arm strength, defense, and hitting. In the afternoon we will grade pitchers, as well as position players in game situations.
In the 6-14 year old camp, we will be teaching all areas of the game of Baseball: Hitting, Pitching, Fielding, Baserunning and Bunting.
We look forward to your attendance, and we would like to thank you in advance for making this 5th Annual UAB Holiday Baseball Camp a tremendous success!
Sincerely,
Nick Dumas
Camp Director
