The Virginia Tech baseball program will conduct three camps in December for area youth. All three instructional programs will be held in the $1.5 million, 8,000 square foot indoor baseball facility located adjacent to English Field. The facility includes four retractable cages and two mounds and features a state-of-the-are video analysis system which enables players and coaches to fully breakdown hitters and pitchers mechanics using Right View Pro Video Software.

The Winter Pitching and Catching Camp will provide participants with instruction on all aspects of developing the same training habits of college pitchers and catchers to improve themselves during the off season. The camp is open to players ages 13 years and up and will held on Dec. 11, 2010, from 1-5 p.m.

The Winter Hitting Camp, also for ages 13 years and up,  will be held Dec. 12, 2010, from 1-5 p.m., and will include instruction on the mechanics of the swing while going through an intense hitting session. Each player will have the opportunity to see and evaluate their swing utilizing the advanced video training system.
