The Roanoke Rapids Baseball Camp ran this week from Monday through Thursday at Doyle Field.
According to Coach Mark Snead the camp centered around three main goals. The first was to teach the kids to be good citizens. The campers were taught about respect, being humble, sportsmanship, and being a person of strong integrity. The second was to teach the kids that baseball is fun. Campers competed in games and skills competitions as well as their favorite event of learning to slide on the slip-and-slide. The last was to teach the kids the fundamentals of baseball. Campers learned about infield and outfieldbase play, hitting, base running as well as pitching and catching during the week. The campers were grouped based on age and ability to help each group maximize their experience at camp this week.
RRHS Baseball Coach Mark Snead stated, "This was a great week of camp. The campers came each day willing to learn and have fun. We got a lot done because these guys remembered what we taught them each day so we were able to build on those skills from the previous day. I want to thank the campers for such a magical week of camp. I also want to thank the Parks and Recreation Department for allowing us to use Doyle Field. Finally I want to thank my camp staff of Alan Mitchell, Aubrey Coker, Ethan Dixon, and Austin Geary for their hard work and dedication during this camp week."
