University of Oregon Youth Baseball Camps 2009
Several baseball camps have and will be taking place this summer for kids that play or would like to play in organized youth baseball leagues such as Babe Ruth Baseball or Little League
Baseball. Other camps have been organized for those that play high school baseball or will be going into high school this coming year and look forward to being on their high school baseball teams. In the Willamette Valley area both the University of Oregon (Ducks) and Oregon State University (Beavers) are offering a variety of these programs for our youth.
At these camps the players not only baseball they are taught many important aspects of winning such as developing good work habits, the importance of academics and the development of a winning attitude. Coach George Horton and his assistants Jason Gill and Andrew Checketts along with a number of the best high school and junior college coaches in the state have been selected to teach the University of Oregon camps.

At these camps all players received a high level of instruction in individual skills from the proper mechanics of the swing and bunting to the importance of the mental approach to hitting along with training in such areas as base running.
