OVERNIGHT CAMPS
Camps are open to all players ages 9-18. Campers will receive hands-on training for the mechanics of hitting, fielding, throwing, base-running and situational play. Discussions on strength and conditioning, as well as college options will be offered. Camp fees include a camp t-shirt, certificate of completion and awards. If you are serious about softball and want to become a better player, join us this summer and be part of the Bruin tradition!
ACADEMIES
The Softball Academies offer an even more intense session of softball than the overnight camp programs, and even more specialized instruction in all facets of the game. The academies will take place entirely at Easton Stadium, and enrollment is limited to the first 25 that register.
SKILL LEVEL
In order to properly group campers, please indicate on the registration form whether your camper is interested in the advanced program or the fundamental program. The advanced program is recommended for players who have had a minimum of one year of playing experience on a high school varsity team, ASA traveling team, or All-Star team. The fundamental program is for less experienced players who are either learning the game as a beginner or who want to improve their skills before trying out for varsity or traveling teams. Coaches will evaluate players on the first day of camp to make sure they are in the proper groups. Teams are framed to teach the importance of teamwork, communication, situational play and competitive excellence. Each player will be placed on a team the first day of camp, and will have the opportunity each day to learn defensive skills for their primary defensive position. There are extra help stations after each session for those players who want more work at their position.

FACILITIES & ACCOMMODATIONS
The UCLA Softball Camp is held on campus, using both the Intramural Field as well as Easton Stadium, home of the UCLA Bruins Softball team. Overnight campers stay in the UCLA residence halls, and meals are served in the award-winning UCLA dining halls. The dining halls offer a variety of food on an all-you-can-eat basis for a well-rounded, balanced diet. Resident campers are housed in double-occupancy rooms (with a few triples available) and are supervised by coaches and counselors also staying in the residence hall. Roommate preferences will be accommodated whenever possible, but cannot be guaranteed. If no roommate is requested, roommates will be assigned according to age. IF ATTENDING IN LARGE GROUPS OF 4 OR MORE, PLEASE CONFIRM WITH EACH OTHER WHO EACH CAMPER’S ROOMMATE REQUEST WILL BE.
