Knocksville summer camps are fun, instructional, and competitive. All camps are developed and led by the Knocksville Training Academy Leadership Team and provide age and skill-level appropriate instruction on hitting, pitching, and fielding (all positions). We intentionally limit capacity to ensure that every player gets individualized instruction from our training staff. All players will also receive a Knocksville Training Academy t-shirt.
