Camp Details

This camp will stress the proper fundamentals of every facet of pitching, catching, infield and outfield play. Each camper will be given the same instruction that has helped the Blue Devils rank at the top of the country in fielding the past two seasons and allowed the pitching staff to finish in the top ten in ERA during the 2008 season. All instruction will come from the Duke coaching staff which has a combined 37 years of professional coaching experience.

Campers who are 7-18 years of age will be taught the fundamentals of throwing and catching, and the fundamentals of each position (infield, outfield, pitching and catching). In the afternoon they will play a game.

General Information
