Ages 5-11
For over 20 years the Chicago White Sox have brought quality baseball instruction to children throughout Chicagoland! If you want to
be the best, you’ve got to train with the best! Since 1994, more than 50,000 youth baseball players have attended one of our White
Sox Summer Camps to focus on essential individual baseball skills. Professional coaches from the White Sox organization have
programs designed for kids from 5 – 11 at every ability level.
Every summer camp participant receives an EXCLUSIVE U.S. CELLULAR FIELD EXPERIENCE!! This opportunity of a lifetime for each
camp participant, along with one guest, will include a parade on the field and a Q&A session with a White Sox personality, coach and
a current White Sox player. During the camp, each player will participate in a special Skills Competition. The Top 40 qualifiers in each
age group throughout the summer will compete in our Champions Day Finals on U.S Cellular Field in September. Each camper also
receives premium items including six (6) White Sox ticket vouchers*, summer camp t-shirt, academy hat, evaluation report and
graduation certificate.
For the Little Sluggers, our beginner program is open to boys and girls ages 5 & 6 and is designed to introduce this age group to the
game of baseball. Our intermediate camp for ages 7 & 8 includes fundamental skills work on throwing, hitting, bunting, fielding,
pitching and base-running. Fundamentals will be reinforced by using fun skill games. The White Sox Summer Camp for ages 9-12
builds upon the basics and is just the ticket to advance your game to the next level. Depending on the skill level of the players, this
camp will touch on advanced hitting and throwing techniques, as well as team play, advanced base running and other techniques that
could be used on the field this season. On the final day all players will get the opportunity to judge their improvement by playing a
game. Student to instructor ratio will be 10:1 or less. (*Restrictions apply to ticket vouchers. Experience dates are to be determined,
premium items subject to change.)
