Camp Details

All Sacramento State camps are open to any and all entrants per NCAA rules, but are limited as noted on the following camp flyer by number, age, grade level and/or gender.

Hornet Youth Camps offer an opportunity for players ages 6-14 to receive valuable instruction on the fundamental skills of baseball. Our staff will focus on teaching efficient mechanics for throwing, hitting, fielding, base running and the mental aspects of the game. Campers will be made aware of the characteristics that define successful baseball players. Organized games between campers will provide a competitive outlet after specific drills have been practiced. Contests built into drills capture the learner's attention, which results in attentive practice.

Drill progressions will be aimed towards recognizing and developing good habits in all aspects of the game. General courtesy, respect for teammates and opponents and the importance of hard work will be taught to the campers through example by the Hornet coaching staff. Drills, skill contests, and games make this a camp kids will remember.

Each Camper will Receive:
1. Top Division 1 Baseball Instruction
2. Hornet Baseball T-Shirt

Each camper must bring his own baseball equipment. Players should bring a glove, bat, batting gloves, helmet, cleats/spikes, running shoes or turf shoes, hat, and any other equipment they feel necessary to compete. Catchers must bring their own gear. Please mark name on all items. Hornet Baseball Camps will not be responsible for lost items.

Staff
All camps at Sacramento State University are staffed with current Hornet coaches and players. We feel that working with people associated directly with our program helps the camper get a firm grasp on the principles and techniques taught to Hornet baseball players. On occasion, former Hornet players will join the camp as guest instructors.

Hornet Baseball Camps are designed to teach students solid fundamental baseball skills as well as to raise their level of understanding of the game of baseball. Our purpose is to provide each camper with the instruction and encouragement needed to develop individual skills to a greater level. In addition, we want the camper to be aware that individual skills are best utilized when they are incorporated into a team concept. We will emphasize how individuals work together on a field to form a baseball "team."
