SPRING BREAK CAMP (2023)
Locations: Puyallup, Redmond, Seattle, Tacoma
Maybe you never got the memo, but Spring Break isn’t a vacation – it’s a time for getting ready to play ball. No better way to do that than with our three-day EL1 Spring Break Camps, which took place in early April in Puyallup, Redmond, Seattle and Tacoma. Athletes 8-14 have the chance to work side-by-side with our instructors to stay down on grounders, shorten the stroke at the plate, talk situational baseball, and perfect those throwing mechanics. It’s 9 hours of baseball training bliss, just in time for the new season!

Arts and crafts, swimming in the lake? Uh, no.

These camps are a great opportunity to come and learn from those who have played at the highest levels and are committed to helping improve your game!
HITTING CAMP (2022)
It Was Great While It Lasted – See You Next Time?
Location: Tacoma
Is your swing built for power, or gap-to-gap hitting? Should you be trying to take those curve balls to the opposite field? Players discovered the answers at EL1’s Instructional Hitting Camp in May and June. Our progressive curriculum focused on a professional approach at the plate. The camp also utilized state-of-the-art HitTrax technology to capture real-time metrics and give immediate feedback. Check back here often for details so you won’t miss the next one.
