Skills Camp
Our Skills Camps are designed to assist all skill levels in learning multiple fundamental skill sets. At Black Hills State, we strive to be versatile and that is what we want to introduce to you. We want to perfect skills that are already set but we also want to introduce new ones! This camp will really focus on fundamentals skills from all aspects of the game. We will introduce some key components to our everyday preparation as well as drills that we find very important to development. This opportunity will give athletes a firsthand experience in preparing for that next level. We invite you to come to beautiful Spearfish, SD to have some fun & get to work!
Pitching Camp
Our pitching camp is set up to help you build and enhance your fundamental awareness, understand the mental side of pitching, as well as assist you in learning something new! There will be BHSU student-athletes there to provide you with visual examples as well as assist you in understanding the purpose behind any drill or movement. We will introduce and work through our everyday preparation, but our goal is to make sure you come away with a deeper understanding as well as some new drills & knowledge learned.
