The Future Bearcat Baseball Camp was held July 6–8 from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and provided young athletes with three days of skill development, instruction, and fun. Campers focused on the fundamentals of baseball, including ground balls, fly balls, double plays, proper fielding mechanics, bunting, hitting, and baserunning. Throughout the camp, players worked hard to improve their skills while building confidence, teamwork, and a love for the game. It was a great opportunity for campers to learn from the Bearcat coaching staff and players in a positive and encouraging environment.
Date Change to BHS Band Family and Friends night
