Joliet, IL - The best way to learn is to learn from the pros.

Young, future baseball stars have that opportunity to learn the fundamentals of the game from the current stars at the Joliet Slammers Kids Camp on Monday, June 24 at Silver Cross Field.

Current Joliet Slammer Pitching Coach Eric Coleman, along with Hitting Coach Dave Garcia and First Base Coach Bill Booker will direct the six-hour baseball clinic starting at 8 a.m.

Slammers' third baseman Kyle Maunus, closer Justin Erasmus, and starting pitchers Brett Zawacki and Corey Kimes will also work with the participants throughout the day.

The Slammers Kids Camp costs $80.00 per player and each camp purchase offers more than the six hours of baseball fundamentals. Each participant will receive lunch, Slammers souvenirs and four tickets to a future Joliet Slammers home game.

"This camp will give players at any level, from tee ball to just before high school the fundamentals to be successful in the game of baseball," Booker said. "If you want to be successful you need to learn and master the fundamentals of the game."

Players will be divided into groups based on their age and playing abilities and will rotate through different stages to learn all aspects of the game including throwing, fielding, hitting and pitching.

Participants are asked to bring their own equipment including a glove, bat, spikes and to wear baseball attire.

For those interested, registration is still open and interested participants can call the Slammers main office number at 815-722-2287 or log onto jolietslammers.com. A registration form can be found at www.jolietslammers.com/2013baseballcamp.
