Wonderful experience
My son had a wonderful experience at this camp! All the coaches were excellent, and he enjoyed learning from college players, as well as college coaches. His hitting improved, he was given some great pitching tips, and a lot of positive feedback throughout the four days. And every day, when he came home exhausted but happy and confident, we knew it was well worth the drive to West Hartford!
