HATTIESBURG, Miss. -Â The Southern Miss Summer Showcase Camp scheduled for this Saturday has been postponed due to expected rainy weather.
Instead, that showcase camp now will take place at Pete Taylor Park, Saturday, July 27. All of the information regarding the camp stays the same with the exception of the new date.
Prior to the end of summer, the Golden Eagle baseball program will also play host to its third annual Father-Son Camp, Saturday, Aug. 24.
Here is a look at both of those camps:
Summer Showcase Camp
This camp is designed to allow current high school freshman through junior college sophomore (junior college freshman must be academic qualifier) baseball players the skills needed to compete at the next level. Participants will be given a chance to have their skills toned by college coaches and receive specific instruction to their defensive position, speed training to improve their 60 time, as well as hitting at Pete Taylor Park. Any pitcher who is a dual player will be able to participate at both positions. The camp is set to take place July 27 and registration begins at 11 a.m. The camp starts at 12:00 noon and end when all camp participants have completed the session. Lunch will not be provided. The camp will be limited to the first 100 applicants. Cost is $155 and includes insurance, instruction and a camp T-shirt.
Father/Son Camp
This camp, open to children kindergarten through 8th grade, will provide an outstanding bonding opportunity for the parent and child while also learning the game of baseball and developing an understanding of key fundamentals in maximizing their child's full potential. Teaching areas will include pitching, hitting, catching, infield and outfield play. The goal of this one-day camp is to provide answers and training solutions to the questions that are most often asked by today's fathers and youth league players. The camps takes place Aug. 24 from 1-5 p.m., with check-in at 12:15 p.m. The cost of the camp is $100 for both child and parent and an additional $25 for each additional child.
