Throwing: we will be breaking down the throwing motion and teach the proper techniques for making good, hard, and accurate throws.  Each camper will have an opportunity to have their overarm throw tested for velocity.

Catching: we will teach the proper techniques for glovework and footwork for receiving a ball – especially in situations where you must transfer it to make a throw.

Infield: we will teach the basic fundamentals for fielding groundballs working on glovework and footwork to ensure being smooth and quick.

Outfield: we will teach the basic fundamentals for outfield play including groundballs and flyballs and the proper glovework and footwork for each.

Baserunning: we will go over the very basics of baserunning and will give each camper an opportunity to be timed running home to 1st.

Hitting: we will teach the fundamentals of hitting and allowing each camper to go through a series of drills that will reinforce what is taught and to help maximize their swing potential.

Location: All Skills camps will be held at Bogle Park on the campus of the University of Arkansas.
