New this year, EABA is piloting additional development camp options for our members. The Sunday Sessions – Development Camp will run on the 7th, 21st  and 28th of September and provide players 9-15 years old with 2-hour outdoor camp sessions.

As with all of our camps and clinics, EABA takes great pride in our programming, with the goal of providing cost-effective, high-value programming aligned with our core values of player development, inclusivity, and community-building. The camp sessions will be designed and led by EABA’s Coaching Director, AA Director, with support from other highly knowledgeable and experienced EABA coaches and junior assistants. It will provide individual skill development for all players and skill levels between the 9U and 15U levels while introducing and reinforcing the values of team play.

Players will receive quality instruction, repetitions and feedback aligned with their current skill set and level of advancement. Most importantly, players will be participating and contributing to a positive, development-first culture where all are encouraged to challenge themselves to their next skill level, regardless of their starting point.

Each camp will focus on the objectives, mechanics and progressions for the specific camp skills and provide players with guidance for continuing into the off-season. Each camp will have a limit of 12 players to ensure a small player-to-coach ratio so players receive more quality reps and instruction.

Each 2-hour session is $30 per player.
