No. She is going to get "game" experience and that's the most important type of experience you can get.  But let's be honest, even playing at the highest levels, players don't see much action and only get up to bat a few times each game.  The 5PC accelerates the game so that there's 7X more balls in play than a typical game.  So, yes, your player will probably be the biggest advocate for Runner Gunner Slugger Worldwide events. 

This is the perfect camp for your son because both the 5PC and Slammer Skillz are specifically designed to level out the talent. We put on our thinking hats and have specially designed each exercise to challenge your player regardless of their skill or age within the group. 

The bulk of camp time is spent playing “Five-Pitch Challenge” (5PC). We've replaced the human pitcher with a machine and play using modified rules. These changes produce more balls-in-play because the batter is swinging at, and hitting, "meatballs." As batters put more balls in play, it creates more action in the field. There are so many advantages to this new version of baseball that it can't all be written down. Trust us, it's so good for them AND it is fun. 

No. This is an action-packed, development-rich outdoor activity that will be more fun than your child's favorite video game.  We guarantee it.

Chris Dahlander, Commissioner, will run the camps as well as some fantastic Instructors. They are either in college or seniors in High School (all of them are playing or played baseball or softball). They're young and fun and encouraging and are dedicated to ensuring your player gets everything she/he can out of our events.
