2005 BASEBALL CAMP PLANNED AT IOWA LAKES

The Winter Training Baseball Camp at Iowa Lakes Community College will be held on two dates in early 2005.

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 first camp will be for young people ages 7 to 12. It will be held on Saturday, Jan. 22. There are two sessions: the morning session is from 9 a.m. – 12 noon and will concentrate on defense. The afternoon session is from 1 p.m. – 3 p.m. and will emphasize hitting.

The second camp will be for young people ages 13 to 18. It will be held on Saturday, Jan. 29. There will also be two sessions at this camp: the morning session is from 9 a.m. – 12 noon and will concentrate on defense. The afternoon session is from 1 p.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 one of the camps is $35 per person and includes a T-shirt.
