Baseball Camps and Clinics

One way to increase players' skills and accelerate their development is to participate in a baseball clinic or summer camp.  These clinics/camps may be conducted by High School programs or recognized instructors from around the Twin Cities.   In Rockford, there are a few clinics but players are encouraged to seek out additional opportunities.
