BOS Academy Summer Skills camp
This BOS Academy Summer Skills camp was created by Coach Brian Gruber after he noticed a deficit in the skill development of Minnewaska baseball players at the youth level. Brian ran the Summer Recreation program for Minnewaska Area Schools in the late 1990's. The current Minnewaska Summer Recreation program allows minimal days for baseball development. Some, but not all of our youth, get extra practice if they are on a summer league team(starting in 3rd grade). This is an opportunity for ALL students in grades kindergarten through 8th grade to get professional instructional development in baseball in a relaxed, recreational atmosphere. The camp runs for 5 weeks on Monday through Thursday from June 3 - July 3rd 2019. For more information about cost and times, please click on the button below
The Minnewaska Baseball Association is a non-profit organization.  All proceeds generated from our sponsored programs benefit the Minnewaska youth baseball programs and facilities.
