Each day will begin with a 20-minute instruction session. Following the instruction session, campers will be placed into small groups, and they will then rotate through hitting circuits which address different parts of the swing. Coaches instruct on all aspects of building an efficient, powerful swing, including stance/setup, lower body rotation and sequencing, hand path, contact points, pitch recognition, approach and off-speed hitting. Campers can expect to get over 150 quality swings each day. The pace of this camp is quick and intensive, with very little standing around time. We have a ratio of 1 coach for every 4 participants.
