Objective
The purpose of our camp is to make every individual a better baseball player and assist those players who have interest in attending Messiah College. The camp is designed for High School players who want to learn advanced college instruction and play like the professionals. We successfully accomplish this by building on strengths and improving areas of weakness.
Instructor to camper ratio will be no higher than 1:5 to ensure that all campers get ample individualized evaluation/instruction. Both offensive and defensive skill evaluation/instruction will be given.
Overview
Campers will be put through a series of stations which will emphasize the mechanics and techniques related to their given position. The Camp will also include drills to help players increase running speed, bat speed and arm strength. High scores in these areas are the things College Coaches are looking for in their recruits/prospects. Improvements in these areas are beneficial in regards to obtaining baseball scholarship offers or guaranteed roster spots. All of our current recruits have come from our Prospects Camps.
Cost
The cost is $85 per player
**$20 discount per player available for families sending multiple players. See registration for details**
Schedule
The start of the prospect camp is set up in a pro style tryout format. Players will be put through a series of Metric testing to assess their running speed, bat speed and arm strength.
Following the measurable component of our camp, players will be given instruction based off of what their individual strengths and weaknesses are, as shown during the testing. There will also be a simulated game at the end of the day to hopefully incorporate new skills learned during instruction time.
We feel this format is extremely valuable to player development, as each player will be analyzed and given drills and techniques to improve in designated areas. We also like to see how campers incorporate what they have learned. Our camp is more than pay your money, tryout and leave. We care about our campers!
Facilities
The Prospect and Skills Camp will be held at the Starry Athletic Field Baseball Complex located at the rear of the Messiah College campus.
Equipment
