2025: FirstSwing Baseball and Softball Camps for EVERYONE!!
LEARN! PLAY! FUN! ENJOY!
The FirstSwing Foundation offers an amazing camp for anyone who wants to learn to play and enjoy the great game of baseball. The camps teach the game in a safe and interactive educational environment to youngsters 6-13 and of ALL abilities.
Coach Phil Rognier established this unique camp concept over 40 years ago and has hosted camps in the Northwest since 1989. FirstSwing has travelled to Vietnam, Shanghai, Lisbon, Rome, New Zealand, Singapore, Arizona, California, and Australia, as well as hosting parent/coach clinics, youth tourneys, and various competitive events to teach/test sports skills. Each year, FirstSwing travels to Asia with its “Baseball Connect” program to teach the game and to work with schools and kids.
FirstSwing camps are structured to teach ALL phases of the game with particular attention to individual needs. All kids are invited to three days of supervised learning in a safe, educational, and fun environment. This is not a “select” camp, but for youth wanting to learn the game without fear or embarrassment. Learn to use a wooden glove, “stubbie” bat and to “Stump the Coach!”!!
