About this camp
The Thanksgiving Camp gives players ages 8–17 four days of instruction over the break. Pitching runs November 21 and 23 and covers mechanics, plyo ball drills, arm care, velocity, and command. Fielding on November 24 works on footwork, glove work, ground balls, quick transfers, throwing accuracy, and turning two. Hitting on November 25 covers stance and swing mechanics, bat speed, timing, plate discipline, and situational hitting. Players train in two age groups, 8–12U and 13–17U, and every drill is adjusted to each athlete’s age and experience. Sign up for one session or both.
