PROJECT OVERVIEW...

For my project, I want to give our communities youth an opportunity to participate in a MLB style baseball camp, to help them improve and develop baseball talents. All growing up baseball was “my sport”, it was what I loved to do and I always wanted to be at the baseball diamond. The game of baseball taught me more than how to just hit a baseball or to throw the ball, it taught me how to be committed, it taught me how to never give up and to work hard, and mostly it taught me how to work well with others. Baseball is not a game that you can play alone and be successful. It takes a “Well-oiled machine” my couch used to say or in other words a team that could work and play together to win games and rely on one another to do our own little part to make the whole team successful.

Advertising for the camp was pretty easy. Living in Southern Utah my whole life I have come to know lots of people in our community so they were the ones I reached out to. I talked to cousins,family and community members that would want to come and have their teams attend, and I also told those coaches to spread the word to other coaches in their leagues to come and participate. The rest came pretty easy, using facilities that are free to the public and my uncle who has ran many camps had any other equipment that was needed. Keeping in mind that most of the equipment is already owned by the youth.
