Youth tryouts and registrations

Baseball and softball

The Southern Maryland Blue

Crabs will host a youth baseball day camp for the week of July 20 at Regency Furniture Stadium in Waldorf.

The camp, which is for ages 8 to 16, will run from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily. The cost is $50 for one day of camp. Campers may sign up separately for multiple days of the camp at the same cost.

Former Major League Baseball pitcher and current Blue Crabs pitcher and pitching coach Daryl Thompson and former Baltimore Orioles player LJ Hoes will be providing the instruction.

The day will begin with 30 minutes of warmups, stretching and catch. Pitchers will then begin working on mechanics with Thompson, while hitters begin hitting drills with Hoes. This will be followed by on-field batting practice, just like the players do before games. During this batting practice, fielders will work on individualized drills, while hitters will get detailed instruction.

Also, during lunch time (campers bring their own food), campers will have the chance to pick the coaches brains, and ask what it was like playing in the major leagues. And to finish the day, campers will go to their defensive position and take infield and outfield. The camp will be run following social distancing guidelines with 50 campers being allowed to sign up each day.
