Camp philosophy
The College of New Jersey baseball program has risen to national
prominence during the past twenty years earning twelve berths to
the NCAA Tournament and a trip to the College World Series.
TCNJ baseball takes on a proven philosophy for developing players.
No less than 24 players have earned All-American honors with 26
signing professional contracts in the past five seasons. The same
philosophy of detail and focus will be found in the Lions Baseball
Camp.
The Lions Baseball Camp is designed for the college-bound player
as well as boys of various abilities from ages 8 -18. Fundamentals
and advanced techniques are stressed.
The same philosophy of the TCNJ baseball program of developing
a well balanced player by exposing each camper to the latest methods
to improve fitness, fundamentals and strategy are implemented. A
top quality staff includes collegiate coaches, former professional
players, pro-scouts and successful High School coaches. The curriculum
is designed to develop boys in both the beginning and advanced stages.
A special pitcher's program is offered for those interested in
concentrated work in the aspect of the game. The pitching curriculum
is constructed by Rick Dell, pitching instructor for The College
of New Jersey.
Attention Summer League Players
Each year many of the players attending the Lions Baseball Camp
play on All Star Teams that advance into tournament play. All campers
are free to leave and return to camp for summer league games. In
the event that your team must go on the road and travel for the
week, making you unable to attend the camp, the Lions Baseball Camp
will refund your tuition and give you a credit for your $100 deposit.
New College Prep
As part of the regular resident and non-resident Lions Baseball
Camp a "College Prep" will take place. College Coaches and professional
scouts will be in attendance to evaluate players as well as give
tips and information for being scouted and recruited. Professional
scouts will tell you what they are looking for in a player. A panel
of college coaches will discuss in depth how to prepare and expose
yourself for the colleges of your choice. Additional lectures will
take place during the week on topics such as nutrition, weight training,
sports psychology, and preparing for SATs.
