SGC Baseball to Host Skills Camp

The South Georgia College baseball program is hosting a skills camp in May and all players ages six and up are invited.

Beginning May 25, the camp will open with offensive skill work. Campers will work on the offensive side of the game on May 25-May 27 from 1-3 p.m. From June 1-3, the camp will focus on defensive skills. Times are also 1-3 p.m. Instructors will be SGC head baseball coach Scott Sims and assistant coach Jeff Timothy. They will be assisted by SGC baseball players. The offensive camp will focus on hitting, bunting and base-running skills. In the defensive camp, the focus will be on throwing and catching techniques as well as individual position instruction.

Players ages six and up are encouraged to attend. The cost is $30 per session or $50 for both. The camp will be held at George A. Cook Stadium on the campus of South Georgia College. Campers should bring a bat, glove and baseball uniform. Shorts are acceptable.
