The SUNY Cortland baseball program will conduct an end-of-summer “Train Like a Champion” mini-camp on Aug. 23, at Wallace Field on the Cortland campus.
The camp will run from noon to 3:30 p.m. rain or shine and is open to high school sophomores, juniors and seniors with a fee involved that includes a T-shirt plus an off-season workout program.
There is a 65-player limit for the mini-camp, so space is limited. The mini-camp will run all positions through extensive defensive and offensive drills with the goal of “training like a champion.” Parents are welcome to shoot video of players during the camp.
Pre-registration is required by e-mailing head coach Joe Brown at joe.brown@cortland.edu or by calling 607-753-4950.
