The Phillies Baseball Academy Summer Camps For Boys And Girls, Ages 6 – 14
Where baseball is fun and improvement is guaranteed!

The Phillies Baseball Academy offers campers unforgettable baseball and softball experiences they will treasure for a lifetime. The Phillies Baseball Academy is far more than just a week at camp–it is a place where new skills are developed and old ones perfected. Our commitment to creating the most exciting and informative baseball experience is reflected in every aspect of our camp.

During each week, campers feel like real “Major Leaguers” as they take the field in their very own official Phillies Baseball Academy uniform and learn from baseball's best. This unique, action-packed camp features top-notch instruction and demonstrations from our experienced Phillies Baseball Academy coaching staff, as well as fundamental station work, skills contests, scrimmages and game action. Each one-week camp takes place at one of 17 great locations throughout the summer. Camp runs Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 3:30 PM. “Extra Innings,” our extended day training program, allows campers to arrive as early as 8:00 AM and stay as late as 5:00 PM

GROUPINGS:

Each camper becomes a member of a team within one of four age divisions.

Campers, ages 6-14, are grouped according to their age and grade level, with a
focus on their individual needs and expectations. Please refer to the patches
above for the different age divisions. All grouping requests must be made by
April 1, 2012.
