The camp is an excellent opportunity for all baseball players. The Teaching For Tomorrow Little League Baseball School allows for youth to take advantage of some of the best coaches that Alberta has to offer, it offers an opportunity for players to not only learn baseball skills and drills, but also teaching the players the importance of hard work, discipline, good sportsmanship and team loyalty.
