Fundamental Training
Intensive training is taught on baseball fundamentals. Station training is
designed to improve basic skills in throwing, hitting, ground balls, flyballs,
baserunning, sliding, form running, run downs, cutoffs and relays; and all
baseball fundamentals.

Individualized Instruction
Position training and hitting instruction is taught daily throughout our 8 week
summer program. Campers are given small group instruction in the individual
positions they desire to play or learn. Daily, there are three, 45 minute
sessions where ballplayers have the following individual choices: hitting,
pitching, middle infield, corner infield, outfield and catching. Each ballplayer
chooses where he desires to train. Ballplayers will work with his position coach
and hitting coach on a daily basis, with each day building upon the previous
day's instruction.

Team Games
Team games are played in a non-competitive, learning atmosphere. All ballplayers play equal innings and an equal number of innings at the position of their choice. Coaches are always on the field and the games are stopped to make the necessary corrections. We remove the "winning" aspect of team games and focus on teaching game fundamentals. Ballplayers are better prepared to re-enter the competitive atmosphere of youth and high school baseball. Team games are not guaranteed daily as camp number changes sometimes create an odd number of teams. Fundamental training, individual instruction or individual hitting instruction may be offered instead.

Coaches Cards
Unique to the Mark Cresse School of Baseball, all parents fill out a Coaches Card, which are computer generated to every staff member, to better help us with your child's individual needs and concerns. Coaches Cards include past playing experience, positions desired to play or learn, and health or personal information that better helps us create a positive camp experience for your child.

Ballplayers with little or no baseball experience
There is no better opportunity to learn the fundamentals and begin to develop self confidence than in a non-competitive learning atmosphere. The Mark Cresse School of Baseball removes the competitive "winning" aspect of the game and focuses on teaching fundamentals.
