CAMP DESCRIPTION

The purpose of the 5 Star National Elite Defensive Camp is to teach and implement effective defensive routines that can be executed alone or with a teammate. These routines can be used throughout the showcase seasons, before games or at home, to help improve overall skill sets while also helping players stay physically and mentally sharp in order to compete at the highest level at the elite showcase level. The morning session of camp will focus on key defensive fundamentals, implementing strategic drills, and teaching an individual routine (executed without a partner). The afternoon session will focus on teaching and implementing a routine that can be executed with a teammate (partner).  As with MLB players, young players play with more precision, focus, and energy when they effectively prepare their bodies to perform.  Most players understand this when it comes to hitting and pitching, but very few understand the importance and have effective routines when it comes to defense.
