Rising 3rd thru 6th grade boys are invited to the Baseball and Football Youth Camp, sponsored by Association of Catholic Coaches & Athletes, on July 9-12 in Fairhope, AL. Camp attendees will receive expert instruction from high school, college, and professional level coaches, both in skills/drills and in a game setting. 

They’ll also participate in powerful Catholic faith sessions – the Mass, adoration, praying a decade of the rosary, etc - with the coaches and athletic-minded priests – to see that faith and sport can and should be combined! Confession time is available each day – for athletes and parents.

Cost is $295, and registration ends June 30. Note: this is a non-residential camp, so attendees will find their own place to stay. To see the camp's itinerary and more information, or to register, click here.
