DOTHAN – The annual Bobby Pierce Troy University Baseball Camp swings into action Wednesday, July 12 in Dothan. Boys and girls between the ages of 6 and 13 (grades 1-8) are invited to participate in the camp, which will be held at the Dixie Youth Complex at Westgate Park.

During the one-day camp, Troy University Head Baseball Coach Bobby Pierce and his coaching staff will help campers improve their hitting, fielding, catching and throwing skills.

“We will emphasize basic fundamentals of the game of baseball,” Pierce said. “Each camper will be able to take home a better understanding of these skills and continue to work on them for the next season.”

The morning session, which runs from 8 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., is designed for children ages 6 through 9. From 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., children ages 10 through 13 will learn to improve their game.
