Finally I have the time to sit down and talk about the camp at Central Michigan. I had a great time, and when you work at these camps you see how much work really goes into bringing it all together. I think all the kids had fun which is always a good thing, I didn’t feel like any of the kids there did not want to be there which is also a good thing. The camp was set up in two sessions. The morning session was catchers and pitchers and the afternoon session was position players. Both sessions had a little hitting involved. The age range was 12-18 and the numbers worked out nicely to enable the younger kids to work together.
First off, the facilities were great. The indoor facility was 80 yards and all field turf, they had 4 mounds set up, six cages, and live video for hitting and pitching. This was a very well run camp with a lot of instruction. It was nice to see kids learning and having fun at the same time. Kids ran the 60, catchers threw home to second, pitchers threw off the mound, and I was in charge of recording the exit velocity for hitters. All the kids love seeing were they stack up, and this was a great opportunity for them to compete against other kids and see where they stand. I have been to a few of these camps as a player and I do not remember getting as much instruction as the kids at this camp did. I had a great time working the camp and an even better time seeing kids have fun playing baseball.
