BASEBALL
The Twinight Baseball Camp, the longest-running camp at Saint Joseph’s, will take place at Larry Mahaney Baseball Diamond, July 26-29. Run by renowned Head Coach Will Sanborn ’86, the Twinight clinic has been taking place for over 25 years and features the consistent emphasis of proper fundamentals designed to help players achieve success as they move on to higher levels of competition. The camp schedule includes drills and activities in the late afternoon and, following a nutritious meal in the SJC cafeteria, games played under the lights on the Monks’ baseball and softball diamonds.

The two-day camp takes place on August 8th and 9th and features college-level instruction from coaches who have developed one of the top pitching staffs in New England. Meticulously designed to help pitchers reach their full potential, the Command Central itinerary promises to develop Command, Movement Pattern, Pitching Arsenal, Health and Mindset. REGISTER ONLINE

ALSO OF NOTE
The High School Girls' Basketball Team Camp – hosted annually by long-time Women’s Basketball Head Coach Mike McDevitt ’83 - will not be held this summer due to the timing of our gym floor refinishing process. We look forward to hosting the camp again in the summer of 2016.
