Easter Youth Camp

28 boys and girls aged 7-12 attended the Easter Camp between Wednesday 9th and Friday 11th this week.  BaseballSoftballUK Coaches-in-Residence Stan Doney and Liam Carroll were joined on all three days by Pony players Joe Jones and Adam Huxley and, taking a day off work each, by Bracknell coaches Rob Rance, Mark Salter and Paul Vernon, and Pony players Connor Vernon and Andrew Kennewell.  The young players all received an attendance certificate after a strenuous and competitive three days of drills and games.  The club would like to express its thanks to all the coaches in attendance, especially Liam and Stan, of BaseballSoftballUK, and Joe and Adam, who were brilliant with the children, as well as the mums, dads, nans and other family who brought the children each day.  For more pictures click here.
