174 2009 Oregon State Baseball 2005 • Pac-10 Champions • 2006 2006 • National Champions • 2007 2009 Oregon State Baseball 175 Baseball Camps

Oregon State Beaver Baseball Camp is designed to provide the best possible baseball instruction for players from age 8 to 18 of all abilities.

Emphasis at the camp is placed upon improving each individual’s skills and knowl- edge of baseball.

Each camper will receive specific instruction on how to play the game and how to improve himself or herself both on and off the field. Skills and techniques will be improved through individual and small group instruction, drills, and game experi- ence. Instruction will cover all aspects of baseball.

Instructors include OSU head coach Pat Casey and assistants Marty Lees, Pat Bailey and Nate Yeskie who helped OSU become the first program to win back-to- back national championships in a decade. The Beavers won national titles in 2006 and 2007 and made an appearance at the College World Series in 2005. The staff also includes outstanding coaches from the junior college and high school ranks.

FACILITIES: Beaver Baseball Camps will be held in Goss Stadium at Coleman Field on the Oregon State University campus as well as the OSU Softball Field, Crystal Lake Parks, and the fields at West Albany High School as well as Corvallis High School. Buses will take campers back and fourth from Crystal Lake, West Albany HS, and Corvallis HS.

INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAM: Our program instructs in all positions and game situations. We teach the proper techniques of hitting, pitching, catching, infield, outfield, base running and team defense. All areas of the game will be covered. Students will receive individual instruction on the correct techniques of the game with emphasis given to each camper’s primary areas of interest. Instruction is ad- justed for age and ability levels and student safety is stressed at all times.

Games are supervised by our coaches who teach and review proper play tech- niques. Games are played each day and are a great opportunity for students to incorporate the techniques they have been taught to improve their confidence in their abilities.
