Baseball Youth Academy
COVID-19 UPDATE
In response to the COVID-19 situation, Buckeye Sports Camps has cancelled all camps and clinics through July 6th, 2020, per the University’s policies in place. Ohio State continues to follow recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and World Health Organization (WHO) about events and gatherings. The university will continue to evaluate events and will share plans to either end the restrictions early or, if needed, extend them. The main priority of our programs continues to be the health, safety and wellness of our participants, student-athletes, coaches, administrators and staff as we continue to monitor all developing and relevant information on the COVID-19 virus. At this point we remain committed to preparing for our summer programs and will actively monitor the situation. In the event of canceling summer programs a full refund will be issued.
SESSION I: JUNE 22 – 24
SESSION II: JULY 20 – 22
Ages 6 – 12 | 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM
The Buckeye Baseball Youth Summer Academy is designed to teach the fundamentals of the game and provide a fun filled week of baseball activities. The mornings will consist of a full warmup and instructional throwing program. Campers will then go through skill-specific stations, including hitting, base running, pitching, fielding, and bunting.
Campers will then take a 45-minute lunch break ending with a motivational/instructional talk from one of our coaches.
After lunch, campers will compete in coach pitch games based on their age group and will be instructed in live game situations.
We look forward to working with your campers this summer!
