I realized I never followed up on this and I just wanted to share my experience.
I was clearly skeptical when I first learned about the opportunity. Must be the New Englander in me. Ain't nothing in this world free.
My son attended the Area Code Training Camp in Boston and had a great time.
Although it is billed as a baseball camp, there was no baseball skills drilling.
It was more like a baseball athletic combine. They put the kids through a pro style workout, gave them a bunch of nice New Balance gear, and measured and published their numbers.
Although he was not thrilled abt how tough the workout was, he was excited to receive the gear, learn where he stacks up against other prospects, and discover areas where he needs to improve physically.
I would definitely recommend this to a kid who thinks he has what it takes to play at the next level.
