The Joint Roanoke Rapids High and Roanoke Rapids Recreation Department Baseball Camp ran this week and was a big success for all involved. 

In all, 20 campers learned about the fundamentals of baseball as well as some important life lessons. 

The campers were divided into age and skill groups so that each player could get the most out of the camp. Players learned about proper hitting, throwing, fielding, and pitching technique as well as defensive and base running situations.

The camp was run by RRHS Baseball coaches Mark Snead, Tyler Snyder, and Aubrey Coker as well as former players Colby Warren and Clay Lockamon.

Coach Mark Snead stated, "This was a great week of camp. The campers worked really hard and seemed to have a great time. They really enjoyed listening to Clay and Colby who they know and look up to. I can't thank those two enough for coming out to help. We coaches had a good time working with  the kids on baseball fundamentals and teaching them about four key words: sportsmanship, responsibility, honesty, and character.  It was a really fun week."
