Nike Baseball Camp The Lawrenceville School
Improve your game and have serious fun
at Nike Baseball Camps
The Nike Baseball Camp at the Lawrenceville School is a great opportunity for campers to learn from experienced coaches, practice all aspects of baseball, and make new friends. This camp challenges every young athlete to expand their skill set all in a fun setting!
The camp was originated by Lou Haneles. Mr. Haneles love of sports instilled in him a desire to operate a camp where athletes could not only come and learn the fundamentals of each sport but a place where they could also enjoy themselves as well. Since 1980 the camp has been run by the Carlesi family. The Carlesi's consider all their campers and staff an extended family and conducts the camp with traditional family values.
Please Note: Lawrenceville School will require all campers and staff to be fully vaccinated for COVID-19, including the booster.
Highlights Include
- Nike Sports Camp T-Shirt, Wristband, Sticker, and Potentially Other Prizes!
- Lectures - Lectures are given on the fundamentals of the game.
- Position Play - During the week all positions will be covered by our staff.
- Drills - Drills are used to teach campers the skills necessary to succeed and the notion of teamwork.
- Instructional Games - We want every moment of the week to be a learning experience for every camper. It is for this reason that during games, if a camper makes a mistake or does not execute properly, one of our coaches will show him what he did wrong and how to do it right.
- Individual Instructions - Our camp is known for offering that personal touch and giving the individual attention some campers may need to truly learn and understand the game more thoroughly.
- Teach To Understand - We want every camper to understand the reasoning behind the methods we use. It is for this reason that our coaches take the time to explain the reasoning behind why you execute a certain way.
