Future Falcons:
As a result of the global health crisis, uncertainty is prevalent in all aspects of our lives. We are fortunate that due to the outdoor and non-contact nature of baseball, we will be able to conduct our camp without significant limitations but will of course abide by any and all mandates and guidelines issued to insure the health and safety of our campers and staff as this is our utmost priority.
As such, we have prepared contingencies if necessary, including vigilant and frequent cleaning of our facility during the day, split sessions to reduce the number of players on site, having campers bringing their own lunch. Decisions regarding these mitigations will be made following the Department of Health issued guidelines at some point in the middle of June. Again, due to the outdoor nature, available space, and non-contact of baseball, we are anticipating at this point running camps at close to normal procedures.
We are excited to be able to now open registration for our expanded camp offerings. It is our hope we can assist in ramping up our players return to the field getting quality instruction and repetitions. More than that, it has never been more important to laugh, smile, and enjoy being back on the field!
We are looking forward to a great summer of baseball on the Saint Joseph baseball campus.

CAMP AGENDA
SKILL DEVELOPMENT
Hitting
On-field hitting, cage work, BP, hitting competitions. Understand real vs. feel, mental approach, understanding new buzz words like “launch angle” and how they integrate into a developing swing. Learn how to hit the ball hard consistently, keep a simple and repeatable swing, and more!
Pitching
Camp pitching focuses more on mechanics, preparation, and drill work to implement with your summer teams. We are always conscious that campers may be pitching for teams during weeknights or weekends, so we try to teach helpful pitching that doesn’t interfere with game play!
Defense
After a several month layoff, defensive repetition and positioning are essential, get quality repetitions and learn how to keep routine plays routine and expand your defensive envelope by using positioning and anticipating to become a better defender.
Baserunning
Learn how to base run properly and value one of the most underrated skills in baseball. Guys get to the Major Leagues because they can get extra bases!
CAMP CONTESTS & AWARDS

Current Saint Joseph players
There are no better teachers and guys to learn about campus and life as a Falcon then our current players. We are lucky to have them be part of the camp process, taking players on tours of the school, helping with skill implementation, and letting our campers get a sense of what it is like competing in the Top 15 of New Jersey and getting ready for college ball!
