MONMOUTH, Ore. - The Western Oregon University baseball program will host six camps between November and January to assist local youth and high school baseball players in their preparation for the upcoming season.
Each camp will focus on the development of specific baseball skills and techniques. The camps will be held at the Physical Education Building and on the WOU baseball field, which now features field turf. The camps are open to anyone 8-18 years of age.
The Wolves will offer one-day infield skills and drills camps on Sunday, Nov. 6 and Sunday, Nov. 27. Both camps will run from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The cost for each of these camps is $80 per camper.
Western Oregon baseball will also offer a pair of two-day camps to focus on hitting. The first WOU hitting camps will be held on Nov. 12-13 and on Dec. 10-11. Both camps will be $130 per camper and will run from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., on both days.
The lone pitching camp will be held Jan. 8 from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The cost is $130 per camper.
The final camp will be the catching camp which will be held Jan. 21. The camp will run on Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and is $130 per camper.
All camps will be hosted by Western Oregon baseball coach Jeremiah Robbins. His squad won its 11th straight conference championship (six under Robbins), and finished the year 37-15, which included a trip to the NCAA West Regional. Robbins was also named the Great Northwest Athletic Conference Coach of the Year for the sixth straight season. Prior to taking over the Wolves baseball program he earned the Oregon 3A Coach of the Year in 2004 at Douglas High School.
WOU baseball players will also be involved in demonstrations and teaching.
