About dAWG ball
Dawg Ball is an offseason baseball circuit camp focused on player development in the midwest. Offering professional instruction from coaches and players with collegiate and professional experience. Dawg Ball camps are an educational based operation, utilizing an easy to follow format focused on giving hitters simple yet specific tools for their growth as individual hitters. Each camp is designed to create the interpersonal environment that we value. Dawg Ball strives to have a lasting impact on each camper, leaving them with the physical, but more importantly, the mental tools necessary for consistent success in their baseball careers.
Dawg Ball camps are instructed by professional and collegiate coaches and players. All hitters will be introduced to the Dawgs acronyms below in terms of hitting philosophy, as well as character, mindset, and mentality. Dawg Ball utilizes video examples as part of the learning process. Additionally, journals will be handed out at every camp to emphasize a growth & learning environment, encouraging kids to note what they learn, as well as what does and does not work for them as a hitter. Each journal will contain learning points and visuals upon the kids receiving them. We strive to make a lasting difference impacting players far beyond their time with us. Schools and organizations willing to host our camps will receive a generous credit towards equipment & program necessities.
