2009 Youth Baseball Camps A Success!

On Sunday, March 22nd Austin Metro Baseball League held it's 2nd Youth Baseball Camp at North Austin Optimist Club (NAO). This year's camp grew from 42 participants from last year to 156 this year! The kid's received specialized instruction on the proper way to loosen and warm up prior to a practice or game, infield and outfield drills, as well as individual hitting instruction. Camp participant ages ranged from 5 yrs old to 12 yrs old for the younger group and 13 yrs old to 16 yrs old for the older group. Each camper who participated in the camp received a free "Camp T-Shirt". Austin Metro Baseball League would like to thank Olga Henson, Dorman McGinty, Wayne Gonzales and all of the NAO Board and Coaches for all of their help with the camp. They are doing a great job with all of these kid's! The 2009 NAO Baseball Camp instructors were Casey Connor, David Feir, Justin Schenk and Grant Borgsteadt of the 18+ Blues, Tyler Pate, Joel Hanley and Jerry Burrola of the 18+ DiamondJaxx, Mike Price, Casey Carter and Alfredo Gonzales of the 25+ Cardinal's, Scott Johnson of the 25+ Braves, Mike Kavcak of the 35+ Angels, Craig Russell of the 35+ Pirate's, Dave Stastny of the 35+ Dodgers, Mike Coy of the 45+ Indians and Richard Loera of the 45+ Mariner's. Many thanks also goes out to these fine instructors!

The first annual Greater East Austin Youth Association (GEAYA) Youth Baseball Camp was held Saturday, March 28th at Mabson Field (just behind Downs Field). The very cold temperatures kept many away but 16 tough participants braved the weather conditions and participated. The campers received specialized instruction on the proper way to loosen and warm up prior to a practice or game, infield and outfield drills, as well as individual hitting instruction. Each camper who participated received a free "Camp T-Shirt". Many thanks goes out to Lee Dawson and the GEAYA Board and Coaches as well as the City of Austin for the opportunity to allow Austin Metro Baseball League to put on such a camp! All of the kid's were very enthusiastic and eager to learn new things. Many thanks goes out to Jamie League, Mike Dunn and Ben Parker of the 18+ Mudcats who were excellent instructors for this camp. They did a great job with these kid's! Many thanks to Byron White for all of the fine photographs of both camps.

Austin Metro Baseball League is very proud to put on these "free" baseball camps to the kid's of the Austin Metro Community and looks forward to many more in the years to come. Giving as much back to the community whether it be putting on free baseball camps or doing great field improvements to area field's is something that Austin Metro Baseball League truly believes in.
