About Spalding Baseball Camp

Hitting Camps
The half-day Spalding Baseball Hitting Camp is an instructional setting focused on helping players develop proper swing mechanics and a sound offensive hitting approach. We will work on all phases of the swing with different drills ranging from body movement drills to on-field batting practice. Centered around lots of reps, this camp will provide the opportunity for players to take their offensive game to the next level!
Youth Camp
The full-day Spalding Baseball Youth Camp is an opportunity for players to improve their current skills and develop new skills in a positive, fun environment. Campers receive daily instruction in all phases of the game from coaches with the single goal of helping them improve and enhance their love of baseball. A typical day of camp includes instruction in hitting, fielding, throwing, baserunning, pitching, and a daily baseball game for live reps. Campers will also participate in an activity designed to promote fun with a purpose like “slip and slide” to learn proper sliding technique, team handball to encourage teamwork, or a water balloon toss to focus on hand/eye coordination.
Infielders Camp
The half-day Spalding Infielders Camp is a great opportunity for players of all abilities to develop their defensive game in an instructional setting. This camp focuses on infield play and will include drills, games, and development in throwing, footwork, hand/eye coordination, positioning, and the mentality of a great infielder! This camp is not only great for young players learning the fundamentals, but also for the competitive player looking to develop into a high-caliber infielder.
Middle School/Prospect Camp
The Middle School Prospect Camp provides players the opportunity to work with the Spalding Coaching Staff and current and former players to learn how to play like a Cav! This camp will provide high-level instruction in all areas of the game, including hitting, defense (position-specific stations offered daily), pitching, and baserunning. Games will be played daily to create a competitive environment for live reps and to give you the opportunity to show off your skillset. This camp is a great opportunity to experience the expectations and caliber of play for future high school baseball players.

Complete Player Camp
The four-hour Spalding Complete Player Camp is designed for athletes who want to grow both offensively and defensively in a focused, instructional setting. Campers will spend half the camp developing infield & outfield defensive skills through drills that emphasize footwork, glove work, and throwing mechanics. The other half of the camp will be dedicated to offensive development, with a focus on hitting fundamentals, swing mechanics, and approach at the plate. This camp is a great fit for players of all skill levels—from beginners building a strong foundation to advanced players looking to fine-tune their game and become more versatile, complete ballplayers.
