"This year we will again offer a youth camp for the younger ballplayer," Doffek said. "I know what it is like growing up in Wisconsin and having to deal with inclement weather. All of the camps offered are great ways to offset the cold climate and pick up some great instruction in a fun atmosphere. We are also looking forward to offering the infielders camp this spring."
