Now that my project is complete I can present to you how I
now have a better knowledge of helping youth, how I was able to teach them and
help them in the game of baseball and in life. Getting to know each and every
player that attended the camp and seeing them improve and learn things about
the great sport of baseball, and also helping them work together will help me
be able to continue to teach youth and eventually my own children how to work as
a team and to be successful in everything that they do.

Youth Baseball Camp 2k16
My project was a MLB style baseball camp. The camp was to help youth improve and develop baseball talents in a way that they might not get everyday. 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. Along with helping the youth learn baseball I wanted to help them become better individuals too.
Baseball is not a game that you can play alone and be successful. It takes a “Well-oiled machine” my couch used to say. What he meant was a team that could work and play together would win games. Relying on one another to do our own little part to make the whole team successful was something that taught each of us leader ship and also how we could work together to achieve our goals.

My inspiration for my project was simple. I grew up with a great love for the game of baseball, and as a got older I realized how big of an impact it made on me as a person. Having my dad and uncle who would take me to the field any chance we got helped me learn and to get better. As I began playing baseball with my high school team I looked back and thought about all the time that was spent at the baseball field and the lessons I was able to take away from this time. These learning experiences will be something I remember forever and they are also experiences that I would love to share with others.
Like any other event or project there was challenges that made things hard. Some of the challenges were getting a field reserved, even though it was a public field we had to make sure we had it for the camp. Making sure schedules lined up with my uncle was by far the hardest and getting everything lined out for a specific date. Weather as always plays apart in sports, making sure that it wouldn't be too cold or raining was difficult. One last struggle was just making sure that the boys that came got all their gear and getting them all set to go!!
I feel that my project benefited all the boys that got to come and participate. Also the coaches that were able to bring their teams, this helped them be able to get a jump start on their season and help the boys have a good start to their season. My uncle also benefited cause he got to bring his two boys and have them attend the camp and he loves working with anyone who wants to get better at baseball!!
Youth Baseball Camp 2k16 was a huge success!! This camp was so much fun and benefited me in ways I didn't think possible. I was able to learn about each player as they came to the camp, I feel that seeing them have fun and enjoy something that I love brought back memories of when I was their age. Being able to see this made me remember all the great times that baseball brought me and the opportunities that came along with that. This camp was a benefit to me by helping me do something i love and pass it on to the youth!!
"Baseball is more than just a game with a ball and bat, baseball is a game of life, baseball is a game of learning and growing, it makes you mentally and physically strong."

REFLECTIONS
Through out the camp I had the chance to help youth players gain new skills and
develop skill they already have. We had opportunities for them to learn the
proper mechanics on how to throw, hit and run. The players were split into
three groups and each group attended a different station, then rotating through
each station to allow each player to have time to improve and progress in each.
After developing their own skills, the players were then split into two teams
where they then had to play as a team. Players from different communities were now
playing on the same team and against some of their close friends and teammates.
This allowed them to adapt to a new team and teach them that to be successful
they would have to work together regardless of where they lived, the position
they play and the age that they are.
PROJECT DETAILS
Learning Pitching from JT
From pitching, hitting, throwing and running the boys had a great time!! It was so much fun to see them enjoy themselves and get to learn new skills. Having my uncle come and teach them was so awesome and as they got to meet him and he told them what teams he played for and the experiences that he had you could see the excitement on their faces knowing they would get to learn from someone who played in the MLB.
