OTTAWA – The dates have changed for the 2010 Mizuno Junior Elite Development Camp, which will now be held on September 8-11 at the Rogers Centre in Toronto, Ontario.
Major League Baseball, the Toronto Blue Jays, Baseball Canada and Mizuno Canada will host some of the top 16-and-under baseball players in the country. These players will receive on-field instruction from the coaching and scouting staffs of the Toronto Blue Jays, Major League Baseball and Baseball Canada.
During the camp, the players will sweat through fundamental skills training designed by the coaching staffs that include hitting, pitching, infielding, outfielding, catching and baserunning. On the final day of the elite camp, participants will form two teams to compete in a Canada East vs. Canada West intra-squad game.
In addition to the on-field training, the young men will participate in a series of “Life Skills” classroom seminars. Seminar topics include proper nutrition, career goal planning, strength and conditioning, injury prevention and rehabilitation, talent evaluation and assessment.
