BATAVIA, NY… Genesee Cougars baseball will be hosting two skills camps coming up on Saturday, February 23 and March 2 on the Batavia campus of Genesee Community College. The camps will take place inside the Richard C. Call Arena from 11am-2pm.
The cost for the upcoming skills camps is $80 for both sessions. Each camper will receive an official Genesee Community College Cougars Baseball hat. The camp will cover skills development from every area of the game and will give each camper an idea of what it's like to play college baseball. The camp is for ages 8-18 and will match campers up with skill development depending on players ability.
If anyone is interested in saving a spot for the two upcoming camps offered by Genesee baseball, email Head Coach Skip Sherman at ssherman@genesee.edu.
