History & Format

18th Annual Winter Ball Camp The first Winter Ball camp was held in Las Vegas and the following year in Lake Havasu, Arizona. This is our 15th year in Mesquite, Nevada. The camps success has been attributed to the staff to player ratio. The camp is for boys and girls 1st through 12th grade and will be divided into groups based on grade. Scouts and college coaches and current and past pro players will comprise our staff in addition to others who will be observing. This camp is provided for the team and individual player to improve their baseball skills and have fun in a warm climate. This camp will be a team concept with individual skills and games. Individual players will be placed on a team for fundamentals and games. Players who come as a group will be placed on the same team or you can request who you would like to participate with. Each team will play a minimum of 2 games during the camp.
