About The Instruction: Our camp is designed
for travel baseball players who want to learn advanced techniques and be
evaluated for our elite events. Our professional instructors will use position
specific training throughout the duration of the camp, use the same
instructional techniques used by the pros. The combination of our professional
instruction and evaluation in a stadium setting will provide a great learning
environment for our campers. Players
will be grouped by age and ability with a 6-1 player coach ratio.

receive an ABR five-tool skills evaluation (hitting, fielding, speed, power,
arm strength). Each player will receive a Personal Profile Evaluation Page on
the ABR website where results will be posted. The Top Elite Players from this camp
will be invited to participate in a number of prestigious Elite Events being
held by ABR/USSSA later this summer.
