Sports Camps Chicago White Sox Training Center Summer Camps

If you want to be the best, you’ve got to train with the best! Over the past 17 years, more than 50,000 youth baseball players have attended a White Sox Summer Camp to focus on essential individual baseball skills.

Professional coaches from the White Sox organization have designed programs for kids ages 5–11 at every ability level.

Every White Sox Summer Camp participant receives an exclusive U.S. CELLULAR FIELD EXPERIENCE! This opportunity of a lifetime, for the camp participant and one guest, includes a parade on the field and a Q&A session with a White Sox personality, a coach, and a current White Sox player! During the camp, all players participate in a special Skills Competition, and the Top 30 qualifiers in each age group then compete in the finals, in September, on U.S. Cellular Field. Each camper also receives six (6) White Sox ticket vouchers, an Academy hat, T-shirt, evaluation report, and graduation certificate.* *Restrictions apply to ticket vouchers. Cellular Field Experience dates are to be determined, premium items subject to change.
