The U.S. Baseball Academy will be holding a spring break baseball camp at Bartram Trail High School in St. Johns on March 17 to 20.
The academy holds camps throughout the year across the nation and this one will be for any players ages 7 to 14 years old and living on the First Coast.
Each day during the camp will be from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and it is designed to have a low player-to-coach ratio, which is designed to be conducive to creating an excellent learning environment where each player gets the proper one-on-one teaching needed.
The U.S. Baseball Academy is regarded as the nation’s largest baseball camp company with operations in 45 states.
However, although the program is nationally acclaimed through the U.S. Baseball Academy, the camp will use area coaches, so it will maintain a certain local vibe while using the principles and approach that has been accepted nationally.
Part of the camp’s format will include morning sessions focusing on hitting and defense, while the afternoon sessions will shift to focusing on situational baseball games, competition drills, and a Wiffle ball world series that campers will compete in.
Prizes will be awarded to the winners of the world series, and each participant will receive a t-shirt and camp certificate.
Lunch is not provided by the camp, so campers are asked to bring a bag lunch each day during the camp.
Because the camp strives to have a low player-to-coach ratio, space in the camp is limited and pre-registration is required.
The registration deadline is March 8, and any parents interested in signing up their children can go www.usbaseballacademy.com and click on the “find camp” tab in the upper right-hand corner of the page to search all the camps taking place.
Bartram Trail High School is located at 7399 Longleaf Pine Parkway in St. Johns.
