The TSI Spring Break Youth Baseball Camp on Monday, April 5 offered a unique learning experience for young baseball players age 7 to 12. Participants learned from a TSI baseball staff consisting of past and present professional baseball players & coaches.
Each player received instruction through one-on-one participation and small group work according to age. Players also participated in drills and teaching sessions that helped them understand the fundamental skills that are used at each position and offensively.
