Camps

The primary goal of the Nebraska Baseball Academy is to help each athlete develop a positive mental attitude about themselves and the game of baseball.  Our focused instruction provides campers with sound fundamentals, disciplined work habits, drill work for personal work, and a passion for the game.  Our personalized approach helps build confidence.  We want our athletes to confidently approach their next challenge and help them contribute to their personal goals and those set by their coaches and team.

Pitching Camp

This one-day camp is designed to provide an introductory level of instruction to the Nebraska pitching philosophy, daily training regimens, delivery drills, pitches, and bullpen routines used by the Nebraska pitching staff. It will provide each participant with an understanding of his delivery, his pitches and the areas that need to be improved to enhance the pitching performance. This camp is great for a tune up or an introduction to pitching. This camp is open to 7 year olds through high school seniors.
