The pitching/catching camp will run from 1-4 p.m. with a registration time of 12:30 p.m. The cost is $50 and is open to campers aged 9-18. Pitchers will be taught proper warm-up, mechanics and drills emphasizing pick-off moves, pitch grips and live pitching. Catchers will learn proper warm-up techniques, blocking, framing and footwork drills.
 
The hitting camp runs on Sundays from Jan. 14 through Feb. 11 in the small gym. It is open for players in grades 4-12. Players will gain knowledge on how to use their bodies in sequence to produce maximum results by work off of tees, front toss and live batting practice. The cost is $60 per individual player and groups of four may sign up for a discount of price of $200 ($50/player).
 
All camps will take place on campus in Pershing Arena and the small gym.
