Our Middle School Gator Experience instructional baseball camp will consist of position specific instruction from University of Florida Staff and/or players, as well as instruction from other college and high school coaches. Limited participants (55) will have access to the same facilities that Florida Baseball players have. Hitters will be able to take advantage of the state-of-the-art Batting Cages. Pitchers will be able to utilize the same pitching lab as the Florida Gators pitching staff. Campers will receive instructional development in the morning and participate in live games during the afternoon or evening. Campers will receive some of the same apparel that the Florida Baseball team wears. Each Camper will receive a Gators Jersey with number of choice, a pair of shorts, and 2 camp shirts. Camp will also include tours of other UF Athletic facilities, a basic strength training instruction, arm care routines, and nutritional education. Lunch will be provided daily to campers. Each camper will also receive a post camp data package. All data will be collected throughout the camp via Trackman, YakkerTech and/ or Rapsodo. Data capture will take place during a Batting Practice, game at bats and pitching during the games. No data will be captured during drills. Post camp evaluation will include a comparison of specific metrics relative to a Division I player, as well as comparatives to others campers attending that session. All evaluations will be emailed to campers within 2 weeks after camp has concluded.
