Erie SeaWolves News Release
(Erie, PA) - The Erie SeaWolves, Double-A Affiliate of the Detroit Tigers, have released the details of its 2011 Baseball Camp. The annual baseball skills camp for kids ages six to 16 is presented by Highmark.
The three-day camp will take place August 2-4 from 10 a.m - 1 p.m. Campers will be grouped by age and receive instruction from SeaWolves players and coaches including the fundamentals of hitting, pitching and fielding. In addition, campers will learn the importance of stretching before sports activities from the SeaWolves training staff and receive valuable nutritional information from Highmark specialists.
"We are excited to partner with Highmark and give kids the opportunity to learn about baseball and making healthy choices," said SeaWolves President Greg Coleman. "It's also a special opportunity for kids to get to know the SeaWolves players and coaches. After all, many of them are tomorrow's Major Leaguers."
Campers receive an official Erie SeaWolves Baseball Camp t-shirt, a certificate of completion signed by manager Chris Cron, daily lunch and a ticket to the Thursday, August 4 SeaWolves game against the New Britain Rock Cats (Minnesota Twins).
"The Erie Seawolves' baseball camp is a great opportunity to express the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle," said Jim Martin, Highmark's director of community affairs.
