All Skills/Basics (Hockessin PAL)
"This camp is good for kids who are looking to get a good start on the upcoming
season. It is for players in the 6-9 age range. This is a good introductory
level camp for kids looking to learn the basics building blocks of baseball:
throwing, catching, hitting, fielding, and base running. It is a great first
camp experience for your child", said Tom Lemon.
Pitching/Hitting and Offense Camps (New
Castle PAL)
"These camps are great preparation for players who are 10- 15 years old. We work
a lot on proven methods and teaching progressions to help young hitters and
pitchers. I have seen fantastic improvements on kids who come to this camp and
work on the techniques which I feel will help the development of your child. We
work on pitching drills to build better technique, to improve velocity and
control, and to learn different types of pitches. In the hitting camp we work on
all kinds of hitting drills to improve ball contact. We also work on bunting and
base running, and we have a lot of fun!", said Coach Lemon.
High School Pre Season Camp (Hockessin PAL)
* First Time Offering! Spots Are Limited. Sign Up Today!
"I am really excited about this camp", said Tom Lemon. "This camp will build on
the highly successful fall camp we did for high school players in September. I
feel this camp will be an excellent tune up for high school players as they
prepare for their seasons. The Hockessin PAL is a great facility and we have use
of an indoor batting cage, so the kids will get to swing the bat! We will also
work on: fielding drills for all positions (including pitching), throwing, base
running and conditioning."
Please feel free to contact Tom Lemon if you have any questions about the camps! |

Summer: Spartan Baseball Camp I
Pitching And Hitting Camp
"This is a unique camp that emphasizes offensive baseball and the development of proper pitching mechanics. It is the only camp of its kind in the area. The kids do a lot of hitting drills and learn the proper biomechanics of pitching. I recommend it for a child who is looking for a chance to fine-tune these skills", Tom Lemon.
Summer: Spartan Baseball Camp II
"This is a great camp for kids looking to develop all of their baseball skills.
It is for kids at all levels. This is a good camp for kids to work on skill development in small group settings and scrimmage games", Tom Lemon.
Summer: Rookie Baseball Camp
"This is a great first camp experience
for kids. Make sure their first summer sports camp is a successful and fun one: come to the Spartan Rookie Camp. It is a half day camp. Parents are always welcome to stop by at camp. Kids love it. Let them learn baseball the right
way right right off the bat, send them to the Spartan Rookie Camp", Tom Lemon.
