Coach Gehrer got started holding catchers camps in the winter of 1985. A youth coach called and said he wanted his catchers to catch like Coach Gehrer’s. Coach put on a clinic for just one team of 3-4 of his catchers. During the camp Coach Gehrer was constantly reminding the boys, “if the balls in the dirt, Just Block It.” Thus the name of the camp. Thirty years later JBI is providing quality instruction for campers of all ages in both baseball and softball.

The emphasis of this camp: Developing character traits in young ballplayers with a confidence-building, teammate oriented, self-esteem building baseball program over 4 days. We want to challenge ballplayers in all facets of being a baseball player including being coachable, being a good teammate, talking to coaches and umpires correctly, appreciating the sacrifice of parents and understanding the benefits of working hard.
The mission of American Baseball Camps is to give kids the tools they need to be successful, and the confidence to turn those mechanics into more success on the field. We also reward being a good teammate at the end of every camp day, because we know that is how kids are going to stay in the game longer, make more friends, be liked by coaches, and have a lot more fun playing the game.
