THE HOME RUN WEEK (FOR ALL SKILL LEVELS)

Close Window

Develop Skills and Build On Your Potential

 

The Home Run week is designed to provide you with overall skill instruction and training in every position. Each camper receives age-appropriate coaching in baseball fundamentals, promoting progression at his/her own pace.

 

The Home Run Experience includes:

 

• Daily Instruction: We focus on core fundamentals
in fielding, throwing, base running, and batting. Our approach allows campers to workout in each defensive position throughout the week.

 

• Academy Coaches and Specialists: Our campers learn from the best! Our experienced coaching staff provides topnotch instruction, and emphasizes fun while teaching fundamentals throughout the day.

 

• Daily Games and Game Situations: Divisional games are played daily to give campers the opportunity to transform their instruction and practice into real game experience. Our coaching staff provides “teachable moments,” allowing key instruction during these sessions–emphasizing position work, proper
execution of fundamentals, and sportsmanship.

 

• Developing Complete Players: At the Phillies Baseball Academy, there is more to baseball than just wins and individual statistics. Our coaching centers on sportsmanship, leadership, teamwork, and building self-confidence at all skill levels. We develop the all-around athlete, on and off the field.

 

• Weekly Highlights: Our weekly schedule also includes Home Run Derbies and Fielding and Throwing Contests. Each week culminates in a Graduation and Awards Ceremony.

Home Run Highlights:

 

• Meet a Phillies Player: While at Citizens Bank Park on your exclusive tour, a Phillies Player will offer you professional tips.

 

• Meet a Phillies Coach: The Phillies Manager, or one of the Phillies Coaches, will visit your camp site to offer skill fundamentals and game strategies, and share Major League stories!

 

• Citizens Bank Park Tour: Your Academy experience includes a full-day trip to Citizens Bank Park. From the dugout and clubhouse to the batting cages and Media Room, you will receive an exclusive “behind-the-scenes” look at the Ballpark as only a select few can!
