High School Prep Camp
Purpose: This camp, for 7th-9th graders, is designed to prepare the athlete for eventual or immediate participation in the EPHS Baseball program. Age-appropriate fundamental individual skill development in every area is at the core of this camp. However, players will also be exposed to EPHS program philosophies in higher level aspects of team baseball in areas like base running, cuts and relays, and 1st and 3rd plays. This camp also provides an opportunity for participants to interact closely and continue to develop further relationships with the EPHS coaching staff before entering the program in the near future.
Schedule: 2:00-4:00 p.m. on Sundays from January 22 – February 26, 2023 and 4:00-6:00 pm on Sunday March 5, 2023 (six 2 hour sessions - no camp on Super Bowl Sunday, February 12) at EPHS Dome

Hitting Development Camp
Overview: Our Hitting Development Camp offers 6th-9th graders an opportunity to develop swing fundamentals and offensive approaches using the help of cutting edge technology. Participants in the Hitting Development Camp will be divided by grade level. Each grade level will be limited to 10 participants in order to maximize instructor-to-participant ratios and provide as much individualized instruction and development as possible.
Purpose: Participants will work directly with members of the EPHS coaching staff to develop bat speed, increase frequencies of hard contact, hit more line drives, improve pitch selection, and much more. Using the Rapsodo 2.0, which measures exit velocity, launch angle, and projected distance among other analytics, players will access to data regularly to help measure their progress, competing weekly against themselves and alongside other participants. Participants will work with coaches to develop an offensive approach tailored to their strengths and needs in order to become a better hitter.
Schedule: See specific schedule below by grade level for Tuesday or Thursday sessions from January 17 through March 9, 2023 (eight one-hour sessions in total per grade level). All sessions will be held in the cages in the EPHS dome.
6th Grade: 7-8 pm on Tuesdays (6th grade section is FULL as of 12/8/2022)
