ROCHESTER, NY—The Rochester Red Wings have announced a partnership with U.S. Sports Camps, the licensed operator of Nike Sports Camps, to deliver the second annual Nike Baseball Camp at Innovative Field this summer. The camp will run from July 22 to 25.
Kids ages 7-13 will have the opportunity to “camp like a pro” and experience a week as a Red Wings player. They will train at Innovative Field and be instructed by former Major Leaguer and current Red Wings manager MATTHEW LECROY and additional Rochester coaches and players. Instruction will focus on hitting, fielding, base running, and game situations for kids of all abilities.
“Our coaching staff and players are looking forward to working with young Red Wings fans to develop their baseball skills and have a ton of fun here at beautiful Innovative Field,” said Rochester Red Wings manager Matthew LeCroy. “This will be a tremendous opportunity for youngsters in the Rochester area to learn from guys with a lot of experience at the major league and minor league levels.”
Campers will also receive an official Nike camp T-shirt, wristband, and ticket to the Red Wings’ July 25 game against the Lehigh Valley IronPigs, where they will be introduced on the field.
“Our goal every summer is to connect kids with elite coaches to provide enriching and fun camp experiences,” said Ron Hall, US Sports Camps Director of Growth and Partnerships—Baseball. “We’re excited to deliver on that promise this summer by partnering with the Red Wings.
