The camp, which works with ages 5 to professional levels, is held at Community Park and the West Windsor Little League indoor facility. “Our knowledge of different techniques gives us the ability to connect with all students, re- gardless of age, skill level, or personality,” says Bethea. We work with what they do well and improve their weaknesses over time. We are not a ‘one size fits all’ baseball academy.” The overriding tone of the Power Pitching & Hitting camp is set by Bethea and his contin- uing enthusiasm. “After playing professionally I continued to play on an Elite Tournament team that traveled the country and won many tournaments, including the 2005 NABA World Championship Series,” says Bethea. “We played against Triple A and Major League players in that tourna- ment. My passion for the game has never subsided.” Power Pitching & Hitting, Box 241, Plainsboro 08536.

Learn to row this summer ake off those cleats, hang up the lacrosse sticks, Tand get out on the water this summer to row. Thanks to the Princeton National Rowing Association, no experience is required. Your sixth through twelfth grader can come out for any of three one-week novice sessions this summer. By the end of the week, they’ll be out on the water and have compet- ed in their first race. “The great thing about rowing is that everyone starts out from scratch,” says camp director Sean McCourt. Though most kids grow up playing sports like basketball and lacrosse, he notes, rowing is among the fastest-growing NCAA sports right now and is a great way to build fitness. The novice rowing camp is designed to give young people an idea of not only how the sport works but also an idea of what it is like to train daily on a high school rowing team. 18 THE NEWS FEBRUARY 17, 2012 dance, music, singing, acting, arts Destiny Arts, 4 Tennis Court, Hunterdon Art Museum, 7 Lower comedy, music video, or web video.
