Toledo to Hold Holiday Baseball Camps in December

TOLEDO - The University of Toledo baseball program will hold its annual holiday baseball camps on Saturday-Sunday, Dec. 15-16. Three camps consisting of hitting, pitching/catching and general skills will be offered at the Toledo Baseball Practice Facility for student-athletes in grades K-12.

These three separate camps are designed to provide athletes with individual instructions covering all areas of the game and are divided into groups by age for instruction. The Rockets' coaching staff and players will provide detailed instruction on hitting, throwing, catching, fielding, pitching and baserunning.

The Toledo Baseball Practice Facility provides an excellent opportunity for complete baseball skill instruction and performance. Pitching machines, batting cages and mounds enable campers to receive instruction in all aspects of the game. New FieldTurf, new batting cage nets and new lights were recently installed to enhance the facility.
