I just learned about four upcoming baseball camps/clinics being held for Southborough and Northborough kids this summer, starting next week.
Algonquin Regional High School’s Varsity Baseball coaches and players will run two 4-day sessions. Those will be followed by two more 4-day clinics in Southborough, organized by youth baseball.
The clinics clearly are targeted towards helping Southborough and Northborough players develop their skills, although registration doesn’t appear to exclude residents from other towns.
All of the opportunities are scheduled for Monday – Thursday from 9:00 am – 1:00 pm. The Fridays of each week will be used as rain dates.
Here are the details.
ARHS Baseball Camp
These clinics are for players ages 7-12.
The sign up page (a Google Sheet) doesn’t include much info. But, Algonquin Baseball and Softball Association shared details on Facebook.
The 2024 camps/clinics will be run by Algonquin Varsity Coach and Northboro Legion Coach Ken MacDonald, with help from other ARHS coaches and players.
Both camps will be held at Memorial Field, 43 E. Main St., Northborough.
