Newberry College - Newberry, SC

Newberry College's 80-acre campus is located in the center of South Carolina in the city of Newberry, the safest in the state. With over 34 majors (including church leadership and a new forensic science program), 840 students, and a 13:1 student-teacher ratio, Newberry College ensures that students receive individual attention and guidance as part of its values-based curriculum. With more than fifty organizations on campus, Newberry College provides many opportunities for excellence outside the classroom. Over forty percent of the students participate in NCAA Division 2 inter-collegiate sports. The athletics program includes fifteen NCAA competitive teams for men and women.

Director of the camp is Head Baseball Coach, Bob Rikeman. Coach Rikeman is entering his second season at Newberry. Prior to taking over at Newberry, Coach Rikeman spent  ten seasons as head baseball coach at Rollins College in Orlando, Florida.

As the head coach of the Tars, Rikeman looked to develop a squad capable of competing in one of the toughest baseball conferences in the country. Sunshine State Conference schools claimed four NCAA Division II championships in the 1990s and from top-to-bottom the league is annually one of the toughest in Division II. In addition to their tough conference slate, the Tars traditionally also play several games against quality NCAA Division I competition.

Rollins finished with a 48-12 record and a 2004 NCAA DII World Series finish (4th Place), the best in school history.  They were the 2004 NCAA DII South Region Champions and the 2004 Sunshine State Conference Champions (first in school History).  They broke a school record with 48 wins and had the fewest losses since 1967 (12).  Coach Bob Rikeman was named 'Coach of the Year' in the Sunshine State Conference and 'Coach of the Year' in the South Region.  Pitcher Steve Edsall, was named 'Pitcher of the Year' in the Sunshine State Conference and player Toby Rice was named 'Player of the year' in the Sunshine State Conference.  Edsall was also a 2nd Team All American and Rice a 3rd Team All American.
