Whitefield Academy hosted its first youth baseball camp earlier this month for 70 young and aspiring baseball players, ages 6 to 14. It was a great opportunity for Whitefield students as well as other kids in the community to learn and develop their skills using the baseball pyramid (mental preparation, physical fitness, and skill fundamentals).
The clinic was conceived by Whitefield Middle School baseball coach, Erik Peterson, and led by professional instructors as well as members of the Whitefield varsity baseball team. The camp registered over 40 players who currently are not Whitefield students, which was a great opportunity to showcase the campus and athletic program.
Thank you to Athletic Director Lynn Dupree and the varsity baseball team including Bailey Combs, Griffin
Combs, Sam Fuller, Mason Jones, and Luke Miltner, for their time and expertise with the kids.
This new outreach program promotes the Whitefield vision and provides a powerful service for our greater community.
