An all-around focus on the complete athlete will be the primary focus in the all-skills camp. The focus is more than simple fundamentals and we work hard to provide quality instruction on skills that lead to the an athlete's overall improvement in both individual skills and that translates to successful players on the field.
Camp cost includes T-shirt and lunch. T-Shirt size cannot be guaranteed after August 4th.
The All-Skills Camp will feature .....
Small group instruction: We structure the camp to allow for small group instruction to provide more hands on interaction to help in the development of each athlete. We take the time to focus on individual improvement.
Skill Instruction: Each portion of camp is designed to work and develop skills beyond the basics. At this age we all know how to catch, throw, and swing a bat. Our priority is to promote the development of skills required of a collegiate athlete while introducing them to a collegiate style atmosphere and practice setting.
Scrimmages: Following lunch the camp is divided into teams coached by the Bradley players to scrimmage. Use the opportunity to take what you learned and play against others looking to play at the next level all under the supervision of the Bradley staff and players.
The All-Skills Camp is limited to 50 campers and spots are reserved on a first come first serve basis based on payment in full. There is no limit on the individual skills camp (pitching, catching, slapping). Pitchers are only asked to provide their own catchers.
