Session 2:  7/22 - 7/26 (9:00 am - 1:00 pm daily)

Cost:  $125 per session

We are very excited to announce the CSUMB Baseball Team is offering two camps this summer. This will be a great opportunity for your child to learn from CSUMB staff and players on one of the nicest baseball fields around. This season, CSUMB has become one of the best teams in the country. CSUMB recently won the CCAA League Championship and are currently ranked #6 nationally. We look forward to having a successful playoff run!

With the recent success we really want the community to know what we are all about. These camps are a great way to become part of the Otter Family! The Monday-Friday camp structure is designed to teach proper baseball fundamentals in a unique and fun atmosphere. The best part about any of our camps is we coach each camper differently based on his or her age, skill, and experience. Please look over flyer below and forward to any league members, coaches, or parents you know. We are trying to make this our best camp yet. Camps are coached by current CSUMB coaches and players.

If you enroll for summer camp by5/15 your child will be able to attend a FREE PITCHING CLINIC on 5/20 (5:00pm-7:00pm). I will go over mechanics, drills, and arm care for all participants. Please let others know about this free clinic (and that they must sign up for camp to attend).
