Waubonsee offers hitting and pitching camp for boys and girls age 8-14
Boys and girls ages eight through 14 are invited to participate in the 31st Annual Hitting Camp hosted by Waubonsee Community College. The Hitting Camp runs from Monday, June 8 through Thursday, June 11 for baseball and fast pitch softball. Instruction begins each day at 12:30 p.m. and continues until 2:30 p.m. on Waubonsee’s Sugar Grove Campus.
The head instructors for the camp, new Waubonsee head coach Brad Unger and Naperville North High School’s Mark Lindo, will teach the fundamentals and techniques of hitting with the emphasis on the basic mechanics necessary to excel at baseball and softball.

Each participant receives a “Hitting Camp” t-shirt. Brochures are available at Kirhofer’s Sports in Aurora or by contacting Brad Unger at 630-466-2524 or at bunger@waubonsee.edu.
