Camp
For Grades K-6
Led
By JGBSA Senior Instructors
Joy of the Game Baseball & Softball Academy,
in association with the
Buffalo Grove Park District, is happy to offer
its
5th Annual Summer Camps at Willow Stream
Park in Buffalo Grove
Improve your skills with Joy of the Game Baseball & Softball Academy’s
5th Annual Summer Baseball & Softball Skills Camps. The
camps are for players in grades K-6, who will be separated based on age and
ability on separate diamonds. Baseball and Softball will also be separated
into different camps. Specific instruction and skill development will be led
by Joy of the Game’s professional teaching staff. Younger players will
be taught proper hitting fundamentals, work on throwing mechanics and correct
fielding fundamentals. Older players will focus on advanced skills including
hitting, infield and outfield play and situational play. Baserunning and mental
approach to the game will also be featured. Each camp features a low student
to instructor ratio to ensure personal attention for each camper.
Bonus! Any rain days will be held indoors at the Joy of the Game Baseball & Softball
Academy, 1455 Busch Parkway. So there will always be camp – rain or shine!
Campers can sign up by the day or week.

Baseball Summer School
Go to summer school? Sure, when it’s
Baseball Summer School!
We are happy to offer these 4 new weeklong clinics – Hitting, Fielding, Catchers
Camp, and All Skills. In each session,
the players are grouped based on age and ability.
.400 Club Hitting - the focus is on the core elements
of the batter’s swing. Each session will include group instruction
followed by drill work in rotating stations. The fundamentals of
hitting (stance, stride, swing) will be stressed.
Gold Glove Fielding - players will learn the correct tools,
from basic fundamentals the major leaguers review every year to advance techniques
for the older players.
Catchers Camp – learn the techniques needed for the
most pivotal position on the field. Topics
include proper stance, blocking
and throwing techniques as well as the basic responsibilities of the position.
This is a great chance for those players interested in and those already playing
the position, to learn the proper way to catch.
Each session will be action packed & fun and
the kids will take away new tools that will bring their game up to
the next level.
