New Canaan Baseball and NCHS Head Baseball Coach Mitch Hoffman will join forces to run the best Summer Camps & Clinics in the area. The camps will focus on the strong development of New Canaan Baseball and what the goals and aspirations are of the High School Program.

In order to maximize the experience for all ages Coach Hoffman will bring the best staff in the area, including Pro Baseball Coach Frank Ramppen (Chiba Lotte Marines / Minnesota Twins) – who will also act as Director of Player Development, Sam Colon (Concordia College All-American) and Mike Abate (Seattle Mariners). In addition, BVSA will add a number of household names that will provide for great instruction. Additional professional staff members will be featured every month.

Focus for the younger level is on having fun and getting the most enjoyment out of the game. As the players development and maintain a grasp of the knowledge, you will see their development through the older levels as we focus our advanced division on strong training techniques.

In addition, you will be able to compare yourself to the pros on our sports motion video analysis system. We will capture your swing and break it down frame by frame and then allow you to take this home with comments and drills to enhance progress. Mitch Hoffman, and his staff, will personally put skills and drills into your analysis so that each player develops properly.

Camps will run throughout the summer and facilitate all ages and abilities. Families will have the ability to sign up for multiple sessions and skill set training aspects.

Please see below for the list of descriptions:

Little Sluggers – Ages 4 to 7

Get to know the game. Understand the proper techniques while having lots of fun. There will events, games and contests everyday along with a controlled game everyday.

Advanced Sluggers – Ages 8 to 9 and 10 to 11

Take your skills and now truly develop them. Players are now pitching and hitting at a different level. We will teach them advanced concepts like relays, double plays, and run downs while competing in our own weekly World Series.

Pre-High School Players – Ages 12 to 14 &
High School and College Players – Ages 15 and up

Coach Ramppen will be running the advanced player sessions and putting together comprehensive workouts for the summer that no other camp offers. In addition, college coaches will be attending each week in order for players and families to better understand the extensive college recruitment process. You are either on the big diamond already or about to take on the beast. This age is now in an advanced training age and the need to train properly is important. We will work very hard each day and incorporate speed, strength, and baseball development into each day. There will be simulated games and practices in each week.

There will be separate stations set up for pitchers, hitters, and fielders in order to develop. Each day will be similar to pro or college practice. All players will have the ability to train at any station throughout the week.

There is nothing like this offered to players in this area!
