Hard to believe it’s time to start signing up for summer camps, but the Raiders baseball camp is set for early-mid June.
The Advanced Session (Ages 11-14) takes place from June 6-8 and June 12-15; a seven-day camp. The camp will run 12:30 – 3:30 pm daily.
The Fundamentals Session (Ages 4-5) and Intermediate Session (Ages 6-10) will be a four-day camp from June 12-15, running 8:30 – 11:30 am daily.
According the Habersham Central Baseball’s website, “participants for each session will be grouped according to age and will receive thorough instruction of offensive and defensive fundamentals from Raider Baseball coaches, players, and former Raiders now playing collegiately. Each participant will receive a camp t-shirt.”
Advanced Session (Ages 11-14): June 6-8, June 12-15 [12:30 – 3:30 pm]
Fundamentals Session (Ages 4-5) & Intermediate Session (Ages 6-10): June 12-15 [8:30 – 11:30 am]
Here is a breakdown of the sessions:
Fundamentals Session: Ages 4-5. The daily schedule for these young, Future Raiders will be structured to ensure a low Camper-to-Coach ratio and to ensure that they are actively engaged and having fun learning the fundamentals of the game of baseball! They will also participate in contests, games, and scrimmages.
Intermediate Session: Ages 6-10. Players will be introduced to more in-depth instruction than given in the Fundamentals Session and will have the opportunity for instruction at all defensive positions. Daily schedule will be structured to maximize time and ensure that each camper is actively involved and having fun while being challenged through drill sessions, scrimmages, contests & games.
Advanced Session: Ages 11-14. This intense, 7-day camp will challenge players beyond their previous baseball experiences and is sure to help each player grow in all phases of the game. Instruction will include offensive and defensive fundamentals, situational hitting & approach (two-strike hitting, hit & run, hitting off-speed pitches, etc.), team defensive situations (holding runners, bunt defense, cuts & relays, pick-offs, rundowns, defensive communication, etc.) and base-running (leading off, stealing bases, base-running situations, etc.). New for 2017: Players will be videoed while hitting and receive one-on-one feedback regarding their swing as they watch their video with coaches.Players will participate in intra-squad scrimmages receiving in-game instruction on all phases of the game. Players will be divided into two teams for the last two days of the camp and will play an “Orange/Blue” Series with the winning team receiving Champion t-shirts.
