2012 Bootcamp info

HJRB Parents,
Our 2nd annual BOOTCAMP is right around the corner now… this Saturday!  Thanks to everyone for the enthusiastic response to it; we are going to have close to 100 kids attending.  We’ll still be accepting on-line sign-ups until tomorrow evening at www.hjrb.org.  If you can still get to the registration page you can still sign-up, if it’s gone(around 7pm)… you’re too late.  We will take walk-ins at the door but the fee will be $45.
 
Please note: signing up for BOOTCAMP does not register your player for the 2012 season.  This is a separate sign-up that will be open next week! 
 

For those signed up for Bootcamp:

  • PLEASE arrive 15 – 20 minutes before your start time to pay and get checked in!! They will be starting on time!
  • Make sure you get a name tag, it will have your group number on it so you know which station you will start at.  You will stay with that group the entire time, rotating from station to station. 
  • Do not wear cleats!  Wear gym shoes (or boots and change into dry shoes at the school, there will be snow)
  • Wear a cup!!
  • Bring your ball mitt of course.  Also, if you have them, bring your bat, batting helmet, batting gloves, catchers gear, etc.  There will be an area set aside to store bat bags.
  • You can change into your bootcamp shirt if you want, but it is not required.
  • Please no sunflower seeds!!
  • There will be limited seating for parents available.  Please no young children in seating area if possible.
 Here is an example of the rotation (Your actual station rotation will depend on which group you are assigned and may vary from this example):
5 min               Introduction by H.S. Varsity Coach Nate Potts to all camp participants
10 min             Stretch / Warm Ups

20 min             Outfield

5 min               Camp Wrap up with all camp participants
 
If you signed up after January 16 we will not have a shirt for you at the camp, it can be picked up during evaluations. 
 
Thanks again, and we’ll see a lot of you on Saturday!!!
