Station 2: Infield Drills – Errors Game, line them up and roll them ground balls if someone makes an error they’re out. Once they’ve all gone move up to “level 2.” Keep moving up levels until they’re all out. The kids love the idea of “beating level 10” and so forth! That’s how we make it fun!
Station 3: Hitting Drills – “Big Man” Hitting Competition or General Hitting Station
“Big Man” Hitting Game is for cage only. 5 balls, if you hit the back net you’re still in, if not you’re out, move the second round to 3 balls, then 2, then 1, until one man stands and he is the “big man.”

FAQ’s

Baseball pants work, but they’ll be most comfortable in athletic shorts. We provide the camp t-shirt. BRING TENNIS SHOES AND CLEATS. If you don't have cleats, just bring tennis shoes, there will be no cleats allowed inside the training facility, but will be used outside on the diamonds by the facility.

All baseball equipment. Catchers make sure to bring your gear.

American Baseball Camps hires and trains high school and/or college coaches from your local area. That’s the biggest advantage of the program. While most local youth and travel team coaches have some knowledge of baseball, this is a chance for young players to get actionable instruction and tips from our approved and trained American Baseball Camps Coaches. We ensure quality by issuing post-camp surveys to parents, providing each location with our weekly program, additional equipment, and extensive staff training.

Of course, anybody interested in baseball will get a lot better and have a ton of fun at this camp! Remember, we separate players based on age and general skill level for the best camp experience.

Our Camp Directors are contractually obligated to conduct background checks on their support staff and we conduct background checks on our Camp Directors.

Please pack your child’s lunch and snacks we will not be providing them at camp. However, we will be providing ample time in the shade to eat lunch and have a snack. Your kid will also receive many water breaks and we encourage you to pack plenty of water. We always provide water at camps, but just in case on a hot summer day, we prefer you to pack water as well.

Absolutely! American Baseball Camps are all about positive energy and being a good teammate. When ballplayers are good teammates they encourage each other and pick each other up, which makes new ballplayers much more comfortable. On top of that, our hand-picked coaching staff is trained to train each kid at their ability level – not their age level – leaving many kids feeling encouraged and confidence in their own improvement throughout the camp.

Our premium camp formula and volume-based reps give each and every ballplayer a bump in their game. American Baseball Camps is a place where a good ballplayer can get 5-6 hours of focused reps in a dream baseball environment.

Cancellations outside of a month of camp will receive a refund minus a $25 cancellation fee. Cancellations inside a month of the camp will receive a credit toward our next winter/summer camp near you – we do this because our camps are popular and fill up quickly, so if your spot is reserved we more than likely turned another kid away. If a pre-camp injury prevents a player from attending, we will refund your money upon receipt of a doctor’s explanation.

American Baseball Camps maintains an 8 to 1 player-to-coach ratio at our camps. Last second signups may slightly skew the ratio, but this will not compromise the integrity of the camp or the quality of instruction. We go out of our way to get you the best possible instruction in your area.

At sign up we prompt parents to list their child’s allergies so that we can tailor a plan for each camp. Kids are not allowed to share foods and instructors aid to the allergies listed at sign up.
