I just heard that there are four baseball camps/clinics being held this summer for kids in Southborough and Northborough. They start next week.

Algonquin Regional High School’s Varsity Baseball coaches and players will be hosting two 4-day sessions. These will be followed by two more 4-day clinics in Southborough, hosted by youth baseball.

The clinics are clearly intended to help players from Southborough and Northborough develop their skills, although registration does not exclude residents of other cities.

All opportunities are scheduled for Monday through Thursday from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Fridays of each week are used as rain data.

Here are the details.

ARHS baseball camp

These clinics are intended for players aged 7 to 12.

The sign-up page (a Google Sheet) doesn’t have much info. But Algonquin Baseball and Softball Association shared details on Facebook.

Both camps will be held at Memorial Field, 43 E. Main St., Northborough.
