The hitting camp runs June 18-19 and the pitching camp June 20-21. They are split into two sessions. The 9 a.m. – 11 a.m. session is for players ages 6-13, while the 1 p.m. – 3 p.m. session is geared toward high school players. Both sessions cost 75 dollars.
The hitting camp will work on all fundamentals and drills for hitting and bunting while the pitching camp will introduce drills and strength training specific for pitchers.

Griffin has 25 years of coaching experience at the college level. He has been a catching instructor and speaker at various camps and clinics.

"This is an intense catching camp for the serious player," Griffin said. "It is designed for high school catchers who want to learn techniques and drills to take them to the next level."
Griffin will cover techniques in the camp including stances, calling the game, mental aspects, receiving drills, blocking drills, throwing, plays at the plate, bunts, pop-ups and wild pitches.
