Overview of Baseball Program

Sessions are programmed for three different proficiency levels: beginner, intermediate, and advanced. Each player will be evaluated and placed in a group of similar ability and age. Beginners will be playing baseball in just a few days; intermediates will improve all aspects of their game; and advanced players will sharpen their game to a competitive edge.

Overview of Sports+ Language Program

Prior to starting your NIKE Baseball Camp, you may choose to take a week of 15 English lessons designed to get you speaking English more comfortably and confidently. English classes are offered in the morning, while afternoons are filled with engaging activities and field trips into Boston, designed to give campers the abilitiy to practice their English in real situations. The Language session is offered the week of June 30th. A weekend stayover is included in the program, then campers start their NIKE Baseball session beginning on the following Sunday. During the second week of camp, campers participate in a full week of baseball camp. For a sample daily schedule of a NIKE Baseball Camp, please click here.

Note: You can add a second week of language for an additional $200. Please register for the program via the link below and then email international@ussportscamps.com to let us know you would like to add a second week of English. If you would like to do two weeks of Baseball camp and Language both weeks, this can also be arranged, but you will miss morning instruction during both weeks of baseball camp.

How does the program work?

For campers who wish to combine Sport and Language together into a multi-week program, there are two options:

One-week language program: The language week precedes the NIKE Baseball Camp. Campers attend morning language classes and participate in fun afternoon activities that enable campers to practice and improve their English. After the language week, campers participate in NIKE Baseball Camp for the remaining week(s). CLICK HERE for a sample daily schedule for the language week and sport session.
Multi-week program: This program combines morning language classes with afternoon daily sport training each week. A sample daily schedule is listed below.
Language classes are held on campus, just a short walk from the dorms.
15 English lessons are offered each week (Monday-Friday).
Language curriculum: Students in this program will improve core English language skills such as speaking and listening, as well as their confidence. Classes are communicative in nature and offer plenty of opportunities for speaking practice in three 50-minute classes per day.
Program designed for campers aged 10-18 years old.

These combination NIKE Sport + Language programs provide the perfect balance for international campers who want to improve their English but also want to get better at baseball.
