2003 BASEBALL CAMP PLANNED AT IOWA LAKES

The 2003 Winter Training Baseball Camp for youth ages 8-17 is being planned for January 18 at Iowa Lakes Community College.

The camp, coached by Jason Nell, head coach of the Laker baseball team, is a specialized program that provides young people the opportunity to be evaluated by top coaches, improve their skill level and prepare them for the upcoming season.  During sessions specifically designed for their age group, Coach Nell will demonstrate and teach a variety of skills and fundamentals necessary for players to become successful. Each camper receives personalized attention to facilitate his/her skill development.

The camp will be held on Saturday, Jan. 18 and there are two sessions: the morning session is from 9 a.m. – 12 noon and will concentrate on defense. The afternoon session is from 1p.m. – 3 p.m. and will emphasize hitting.

Both sessions will be held in the Christensen Activity Center at the Estherville Campus of Iowa Lakes. Cost to attend both sessions is $30 per person and includes a T-shirt.

Assisting during the sessions will be players from the Iowa Lakes Community College baseball team and other area high school and college coaches.
