ALL BASEBALL ALL THE TIME (ABATT) Age 5-13 A.B.A.T.T. instructors trained in coaching youth sports and have rich baseball credentials. Instructors include young volunteers, highschool players, Division 1 college players, and even professional level baseball players. A.B.A.T.T. (All Baseball All The Time) is a fantastic summer program dedicated to teaching kids about the game of baseball. We focus little on the results of players or games, but instead on the process of playing the game. Drills, scrimmages, and fun baseball related games happen daily. We care about the baseball related futures of campers, but more importantly concentrate on the positive experience that playing baseball can bring to a child including the following: Teamwork, Building Confidence, Discipline, Developing New Skills, Building New Friendships. A.B.A.T.T. is unique because we accommodate first time players, as young as 5 years old up to advanced level 12-year-old players. We focus on the building blocks of Hitting, Fielding, Pitching, and Running with small groups according to skill level. In addition to the basics, we teach advanced aspects of the game if players are ready and willing.

Golf Camps JUNIOR GOLF CAMP Age 5-14yrs with Emerald Hills Golf Staff Camp starts at 9:00 but you can drop off as early as 8:45! Orientation will be on Monday at 9:00am, and this is an opportunity for us to get to know the campers and for the campers to learn camp rules and expectations and meet their counselors. Throughout the camp they will be taught the skills of putting, chipping, bunker shots, driving and midrange game. We will take them into our driving range where they will be able to fine tune their swings. We believe the best way for young golfers to learn is by allowing them to play on a real golf course, as opposed to just a driving range. At the same time we can also teach them golf etiquette which is very important to use on a golf course. Hot Lunch is served daily for all campers and snacks will be provided at aftercare. Bring your own equipment or rent clubs at Emerald Hills Golf Course.

FEE: $204 / $184 Resident Discount

SUMMER CAMP

SKYHAWKS BEGINNING GOLF Age 5-9 For more information, please visit www.skyhawks.com Skyhawks Golf focuses on building the confidence of young athletes through proper technique and refining the essential skills of the game. As we know, golf is a challenging and lifelong sport, so young athletes need proper focus on the fundamentals of form, swinging, putting, and body positioning. To assist in this training, Skyhawks has adopted the SNAG (Starting New At Golf) system to its curriculum. Developed by PGA professionals, SNAG is specifically designed for the entry-level player; SNAG simplifies instruction so that young players can make an easy & effective transition onto the golf course. No need to bring your own clubs, all equipment is provided. For safety reasons, we use special helmets for all campers and keep the instructor to camper ratio low, resulting in maximum instruction time. Participants should bring appropriate clothing, snacks, a water bottle, running shoes and sunscreen. All participants receive a t-shirt and a merit award. the participant-to-coach ratio is approximately 8:1.

Need to get certified? Go to www.bayarearedcross.com and look under “Lifeguard Certification” courses for local classes.
