THE 2010 INDIANA BASEBALL CAMPS
A Note from Coach Smith:
College and
professional baseball players spend the majority of their baseball
lives mastering fundamentals and developing proper baseball technique.
Only after all that skill work are they ready to compete at the highest
level. This summer, our Hoosier Baseball coaching staff and players
want to spend time helping you advance your game through specific skill
instruction, loads of repetition, and FUN in fundamentals. We hope you
choose to put in some extra baseball time with us! These camps fill up fast. Be sure to reserve your spot soon!

CAMP STORE
Tracy Smith Hoosier Baseball camp will offer a Camp Store stocked with
food and drinks. In addition, we will have Indiana Baseball apparel
available to purchase. Campers who choose to shop the camp store should
plan to deposit money into a Camp Bank Account in their name. At the
end of the week, checks will be written to the campers who have a
balance in their account. This way, campers need not worry about cash
while at camp. Overnight campers can use their camp bank money for
pizza, a small fee for swimming or bowling, and even “midnite” snacks!!
Feel free to send the camp bank money with your camp registration or deposit cash when you check in the first day.TRANSPORTATION
