Ages ranged from 12 to 17 and the talent level was very impressive. Coaches who worked the camp represented MCB, Bethany Lutheran College, Minnesota State University, Purdue, and the Mankato Sports Institute. The days events covered the entire game of baseball including a hitting lesson from Hall of Fame coach Dean Bowyer. A morning session of skills testing was followed by 5 individual mini-clinics that covered fielding, hitting, pitching, catching, the 60yard dash, and defensive set-ups.

Fitzgeralds Sports has also jumped on board in 2010 to supply quality baseballs for all of our events. Typically these tournaments are in or near a metropolitan area along with nearby colleges & universities. We believe this makes your experience much more enjoyable with a good selection of hotels and local attractions nearby as well. We hold our Tourneys on collegiate fields that have been personally inspected by members of our organization to assure their playing condition and quality. Finally, we work hard to assure you of a full weekend of baseball at each Tourney. The combination of great collegiate fields, plenty of games and an enjoyable metropolitan area make for truly fun weekends of baseball! |
