UNA BASEBALL CAMPS The UNA baseball camps have grown significantly in the past 15 years.  These camps provide a great opportunity to learn the fundamentals of the game with an excellent coach-to-camper ration.  For the young camper (12 yrs. and younger), the camp provides for the development of the basic fundamentals of the game in a fun atmosphere.   We include activities that are organized according to age and ability levels and designed in a confident, success-developing sequence. For the advanced and High School Age Camper, we provide an excellent learning experience to enhance the talent development of each camper in a challenging atmosphere.  We provide campers the opportunity to be evaluated as a future college prospect.  The camper is exposed to the coaching expertise of one of the premier instructional baseball programs in college baseball.
