Players spent the week participating in a wide variety of activities.

From throwing and catching drills, to fielding exercises and batting practice, all participants had the chance to experience every station and improve their skills.

This camp was a great opportunity for participants to gain confidence as athletes. Different sports like soccer, dodgeball, and track and field were incorporated into the camp to encourage multi-sport athletes. Playing multiple sports has proven to be very beneficial for young athletes. (Learn more about Sport Manitoba's #PlayMoreBeMore campaign here.)

Great job to all the athletes who submitted their creative designs and congratulations to Aaron S for winning the contest! Each participant who submitted a design has been sent a prize for all their hard work. 

All of us at Baseball Manitoba want to thank every participant for all their hard work. We hope everyone learned some new skills, gained confidence, and most importantly, had fun. Now that spring is here summer is close to follow, and we can’t wait for the 2022 season to start! We look forward to seeing you all out on the field in May!
