The White Sox Academy Little Sluggers program is designed to pass on America’s game to the youth of the community in a fun, organized, teaching environment. The most important thing the Academy staff can do is pass on a knowledge and passion for the game of baseball to the next generation.

The Chicago White Sox Training Academy Little Sluggers Camp is for boys and girls who are interested in learning the basic fundamentals of the game of baseball at a young age.

Little Sluggers allows players to work on catching, throwing and hitting as well as teach the young athletes of how practice leads to improvement.

The “sluggers” will also be introduced to techniques such as balance and athletic movement. Each 90-minute session will have 60 minutes of instruction and 30 minutes of game play.

The Little Sluggers camps will start on Saturday, March 5, and will run for four weeks. Enrollment is limited and is open to boys and girls ages five to six years old. The cost of this beginning baseball fundamental camp is only $85.00 per young athlete.

The White Sox Academy will run its Little Sluggers program from 11:30a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at all four Academy facilities (Lisle, Glen Ellyn, LaGrange, Tinley Park). Please check www.BullsSoxAcademy.com to get an address and directions for the facility of your choice.
