1. What arrangements are made for early arrivals/late departures?
A complete shuttle itinerary will be forwarded with each confirmation
packet. Early arrivals/late departures are housed in their assigned
camp rooms, are to abide by all camp rules and policies, and meal
service is provided only during the normal camp session. Early
arrivals may take meals off - campus within walking distance of
the H-SC campus.
2. How many roommates may I request?
As many as three. We are sincere about honoring
each request in advance. Each session fills to capacity, therefore
last minute alterations cannot be accommodated. All requests
must be made by June 22, 2012.
3. Can I be on the same team as my buddy?
Rosters are randomly compiled by primary and secondary position
prior to camp opening. We do not accept requests for team assignment
preferences. Squads are not altered once selected unless unforeseen
roster imbalance occurs (e.g., injury).
4. How many campers do you enroll?
Our maximum goal is 192 campers (12 teams of 16). We accept 210
per session, as attrition will occur for a variety of reasons.
If enrollment falls under 180 campers (12 teams of 15), we
immediately enroll new applicants with preference given to
primary and secondary defensive positions and grade of applicant.
5. How important is the first day of camp?
In our bias, it is very important. The first day establishes
policies, schedules, guidelines and the building blocks for
staff and camper relationships. Equally important are the compilation
of running times, the making of pitching and hitting videos
(all hitters, and all primary and secondary pitchers), as well
as foundational teaching lectures which set the tone for the
week ahead.
6. What types of things does the camp store offer?
The Camp Store is provided for camper convenience and contains
a brief assortment of items to include: Pizzas, soft drinks
and sport drinks, shorts, hats and t-shirts. The Camp Store
is typically open for approximately 45 minutes following the
completion of each evening session and during showcase day.
7. Tell us about Showcase Day
Showcase day is simply a day to play, show your skills (physical
and attitudinal), and have fun. We are first and foremost a
teaching camp, yet a powerful thread of exposure takes place
in the process. We believe the BIV Showcase Camp presents an
uncanny opportunity to recruit as much for attitude as ability.
We mail approximately 200 invitations to collegiate coaches
and professional scouts. We cannot predict or control who will
attend, but we typically average 50-60 scouts in attendance.
Grandstand seating is limited, so bring a folding chair. Concessions
are available.
8. What happens if it rains?
If it rains, we have indoor adaptations that focus strictly on
instruction. Should weather require, Showcase B.P. is replaced.
Should it rain on Showcase Day, we focus on completing one
round of games.
