Upcoming Baseball Christmas Camp

The Connecticut Baseball Academy is offering its annual Christmas Camp as an opportunity to help young baseball players continue their development over the offseason.

The two-day Christmas Camp will take place from Dec. 27th to Dec. 28th at the Connecticut Baseball Academy's East Hartford location (525 Burnside Avenue, East Hartford, CT 06108) and from Dec. 29th to Dec. 30th at its Berlin facility (598 Deming Road, Berlin, CT 06037).

Hitting instruction for campers ages 8-12 will run from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. on both days while a session for pitchers and catchers will take place from 10:45 a.m. to 12:15 in the afternoon. The same sessions will be offered for 13-to-16-year-olds from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. and 2:45 p.m. to 4:15 p.m. at each location.

Both second sessions in Berlin will include fielding instruction in addition to lessons in pitching and catching.

The Academy's Christmas Camp will feature San Diego Padres scout Jim Bretz, Triple-A All-Star pitcher Steve Bray, Arizona Diamondbacks' second-round draft pick Jamie D'Antona, National Championship coaches Dan Kennedy (spent time in the Boston Red Sox, Baltimore Orioles and Chicago Cubs systems) and Bob Hetu as well as Connecticut Baseball Academy's Mike Levandowski, Matt Manders, Steve Blinn and Eric Rosario. 

Each session is $100, or players can attend both sessions for just $150. Pre-register by Dec. 18th and 50 percent will be taken off the price.
