Maricopa Dusters baseball club is hosting a baseball camp for all boys and girls 8 to 14 on Dec. 28 and 29.

Are you looking for something for your son or daughter to do over holiday break? Join Maricopa Dusters head coach Marty McDonald and his staff for a baseball camp Dec. 28-29.

This camp is for any type of baseball player regardless of experience. Camp is open to boys and girls age 8 to 14.

“We are looking for boys and girls who love baseball,” McDonald said. “If you’re a club kid, great. If you’re just starting baseball, great. We are putting together a camp focusing on the fundamentals that every baseball player needs regardless of level. We’ll focus on hitting, fielding, base running, pitching, catching, mental approach and a lot more. If your son or daughter is willing to learn, keep an open mind, try new skills, then this is the perfect camp for them.”

The cost of the camp is $30 per player and it includes a camp T-shirt.

The Maricopa Dusters are a club baseball team that plays 11U baseball. The Dusters are currently ranked No. 1 among 11uAA teams in Arizona and ranked 13th in the United States. The Dusters placed fifth in the USSSA World Series last summer and have won numerous tournaments, seven rings, three medals and other prizes. This camp will feature additional guest instructors which will be named as we get closer to camp time.

The camp will run from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. each day on Dec. 28 and Dec. 29. All players will receive a free T-shirt and expert baseball instruction while using the fields at Copper Sky Park in Maricopa.

Guest coaches include Andrew Pollak, head baseball coach at Maricopa High School; Justin Hesse, nine-year Arizona coaching veteran on the club and high school scene; Jason Love, former AAU all star, college player and former professional player. Additional names will be announced.
