ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- University of Michigan head baseball coach Rich Maloney has announced plans for a pair of winter baseball camps to close out 2003. Maloney and his staff will also be conducting a free coaches clinic Saturday (Nov. 1).
The first camp is Thanksgiving weekend, running Friday through Sunday (Nov. 28-30), and the second camp will run the week after Christmas (Dec. 27-30). The camps will be held in the Oosterbaan Field House (located behind Schembechler Hall off of State Street), which features excellent facilities for complete baseball skill performance and improvement.
Maloney, who has earned a national reputation for developing players, will direct the camps along with the Wolverine coaching staff members John Lowery, Jason Murray and Scott Mallernee. Outstanding high school coaches also will serve as instructors.
The Thanksgiving weekend camp offers a popular feature Maloney introduced last fall, with a Kid's Camp format on Friday (Nov. 28) for players from ages 6 to 12 which will run from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The Saturday and Sunday (Nov. 29-30) portion of the Thanksgiving camp will feature instruction for players from age 8 to 2004 high school graduates.
The camps running Saturday and Sunday (Dec. 27-28), covering all aspects of the sport, will range from age 8 to 2004 high school grads. The camps on Monday and Tuesday (Dec. 29-30) will feature ages six to 12 early in the day, with ages 13 to 2004 grads in the afternoon and early evening.
