Description

Come visit us at historic Reckling Park, home of the 2003 National Champions. Our 3-Day camp provides an excellent opportunity for youth players to improve their skillset and love of the game. Participants will work with the Rice coaching staff, current and former Rice Baseball players, and other quality instructors. This camp will be similar to our summer camps, consisting of organized and high-energy instructional stations. Each camper will be grouped according to age and travel through different stations with their assigned coach.  Monday will be an evaluation and skill instruction day. Tuesday and Wednesday will consist of various fundamental skill set stations covering all facets of the game. Tuesday and Wednesday will involve a lot of competition along with live coach-pitched games. There will be plenty of awards and prizes given out each day to the top campers. Parents/guardians are welcome to stay and watch.

Parking Information

The best way to get to Reckling Park is to enter the Rice University campus via Entrance 8 at the intersection of University and Stockton Boulevards. Once on campus, there will be a road about 30 yards from the entrance to your right next to the new Moody Center. Turn right down that road and it will take you in front of Reckling. Please follow that road until you reach an old tennis court located down the left-field line that has been converted into a parking lot. Camper pick-up and drop-off will take place in this parking lot, now called West Lot 6. Parking beyond drop-off and pick-up in this lot will not be allowed. You will be subject to ticketing/towing if you remain in this lot for the duration of camp.

 

If you wish to stay to watch camp and need to park, you have several options. You may park in West Lot 1 and/or the Moody Lot for $1 per 15 minutes or $12 max per day. Please note with this option that you will have to pay each time you exit and re-enter this lot. There is additional parking for a flat rate of $1.00 in the Greenbriar Lot on the West Side of the football stadium.
