2020 Baseball Camp

$40 Registration Fee

Starting July 6th!
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are unable to host our traditional RBI League this summer. Following the current CDC social distancing guidelines, we have developed a Baseball Camp for youth ages 8-18. Participants will be assigned to a pod of 13 players which they will stay with for the duration of the camp. Pods will be grouped by age and will play once a week. This camp will focus on teaching the age-appropriate fundamentals of baseball such as throwing, catching, fielding, and hitting. Pods will not play games against other pods, however, they will be able to scrimmage and play games among themselves. This is a great opportunity to keep your kids active and safe during this unprecedented time. Play Ball!

T-Ball

Designed to teach young children, ages 4-5, the basics of baseball, our T-Ball program welcomes interested kids to have fun on the field this summer.

Players learn the skills including how to swing a bat and run the bases, as well as respect and how to be a good team player!

Jr. RBI (Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities)

Jr. RBI, takes the rudimentary skills learned in T-Ball and builds on them each year as players advance toward our RBI league.

In our 8-12 year old divisions, players utilize previously learned skills and incorporate them into full court games.

Teen Basketball

Open to youth ages 13-15, most of the players in this league have already learned the basic skills and are ready to challenge their peers in games running throughout the season.  These exciting games showcase not only individual skills, but also teamwork as players bond with their peers.
