Padres Baseball Camps features five action-packed days of individualized instruction, marquee competitions, and special events. Each day of Padres Camp features a personal character theme, teaching campers lessons on the diamond that they can utilize off the field to become more outstanding young men and women.

Each morning, Padres Camps coaches provide campers with individualized tips and tools for improvement during our "Train and Compete" stations. The structure of these stations allows campers to immediately apply the skills they have learned to an exciting competition where prizes are on the line. Campers' opportunities to improve their skillsets continue each afternoon during the weeklong World Series Tournament. During these tournament games, coaches utilize teachable moments to help each camper develop their game even further.

In addition to the "Train and Compete" stations and World Series Tournament, the Padres Camp curriculum is loaded with unforgettable events and experiences, including:

• Home Run Derby
• Gold Glove Competition
• Silver Spikes Competition
• Camp-Wide Opening Day Ceremonies
• Division-Wide All-Star Games
• Team Skills Competition
• Daily Awards Ceremonies
• Custom Camp Trading Pin & Sticker Awards + Giveaways

Our Coaches

Padres Baseball Camps hires only the highest caliber professional educators and instructors. All coaches go through an extensive screening process that includes interviews, background checks and multiple training sessions. Our team consists of educators who have a passion for working with children, teaching the fundamentals of the game and ensuring a safe and positive experience for each of our campers.

Why We "Coach-Pitch"

Simply put, coach pitching makes for a better camp experience for your player. Why? Kids get more swings on better pitches. More swings equal more contact. More contact means more smiles. Technically speaking, our coaches can tailor their pitching approach to meet the current needs of your player. Coaches can better pitch-to-contact, emphasizing inside pitches, outside pitches, etc. to help maximize the number and quality of at-bats at camp. In addition, coach-pitching keeps campers involved on defense, protects pitch counts for your player's outside team and increases the safety factor of the overall camp experience.

Why We "Train With Contests"

Our campers share the common goals of improving as baseball players, having fun and making lifelong memories at Padres Baseball Camps. With that in mind, our morning curriculum replaces traditional drills with engaging contests. During these competitions, campers get to implement the lessons they learn at camp immediately into an exciting format. With over 30 morning competitions, we show campers the fun that is inherent in the game of baseball, and our campers get immediate feedback on their form through the teachable moments in every event. With this model, our campers:

• Stay engaged throughout the camp day, maximizing their time at camp
• Learn the importance of being supportive teammates
• Receive immediate positive feedback for proper technique
• Become accustomed to applying their skills to a competition
• Improve their ability to work towards larger goals
• Make more memories and have more stories to share with their families at the end of each day
• Fall in love with the game of baseball faster and deeper than ever before
