2nd Annual Lincoln College Baseball Prospect Camp #2 • Ages: 2011-2014 graduates

Location: Galen Shirley Field-Lincoln College
Sunday, October 3, 2010
Starts: 8:45am / Ends: 4:00pm

Camp Cost: $45.00

Camp Details

Lincoln College, a private junior college located in Lincoln, IL will host a showcase at Galen Shirley Field on their campus Sunday October 3rd, 2010.

This is a showcase only, there is no instruction promised to players; that is why the cost is kept very low compared to other events around the Midwest. The mission of having this event is to get student-athletes exposed to collegiate coaches and to have prospective student-athletes on the Lincoln College campus.

The event is open to all high school aged players from the classes of 2011-2014. There will be a pro-style workout, the same that is used at most MLB tryouts. Coaches from all divisions (NCAA 1,2,3; NAIA, JUCO) will be present. Last years attendance surpassed 170 with over 15 schools present. A list of committed coaches will be available as the showcase draws nearer. This year's event has been moved up 3 weeks to accommodate coaches and allow more to attend.

General Information

An evaluation will not be given, but can be provided for an additional fee of $20.00. Please check the box on the registration page if you are interested.

Please be precise when filling out registration forms as the information given is what will be in the coach's packets (contact information will be given to all coaches).

What if I have to cancel a camp?
We do not offer refunds on cancelled campers, just a future camp credit if you decide to cancel, but we do have what is called "Cancellation Protection".
We offer basic Cancellation Protection to allow participants some peace of mind in case plans change. This allows us to keep our prices low and provide the best service possible. Due at the time of registration, Cancellation Protection entitles you to a full refund of camp fees should you cancel your registration more than 14 days prior to the start of an overnight camp, and 7 days prior to the start of a day camp. If you cancel within 14 or 7 days of the start of your session, we will give you a camp credit for all money paid. The credit is valid for three years from camp date at any of our camps.
