Milwaukee Brewers Baseball Academy Returning to Sheboygan
Posted: February 7, 2019
The Milwaukee Brewers and Sheboygan A’s are once again partnering to bring the Brewers Baseball Academy to Sheboygan August 19-23 at Wildwood Baseball Park.
“We are extremely excited to partner once again with the Brewers to bring this event back to Sheboygan,” said A’s Vice President C.J. Skelton. “The Brewers were very pleased with how we handled the event last year, and we look forward to continuing that relationship.”
The Milwaukee Brewers Baseball Academy presented by Kwik Trip, now in its seventh season, is open to kids (ages 6-14) and includes 15 separate week-long baseball/softball camps that will be held in various cities across Wisconsin this summer.
The camps will be conducted under the supervision of Tim Rappé, Executive Director of the Brewers Baseball Academy.
“Our mission is to create a world-class training environment wrapped in an unforgettable Brewers experience,” said Rappé.
Each camp runs Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. with instruction provided by experienced coaches. During one day of the five camp days, campers are transported by bus to Miller Park for a one-of-a-kind experience as they are treated to a guest appearance from a current Brewers player. In addition, campers also receive instruction from a Brewers coach and have the opportunity to take their photo with them.
All participants take part in baseball/softball skills competitions in appropriate age groups. Upon completion of the last camp, the top scorers are invited to the Champions Day Finals at Miller Park.
The fee for the weeklong camp is $395 per child, which includes 30 hours of exceptional instruction, a complete MLB-quality Brewers uniform, four Brewers game tickets to one of three select games and a V.I.P. day at Miller Park.
Registration can be found at Brewers.com/camps. Registrations received prior to March 15 will receive a $25 discount.
The Sheboygan A's are members of the Wisconsin State League and Northeastern Wisconsin Baseball League. The A's have helped develop more than 43 players that have reached professional baseball, including 2002 World Series Champion Jarrod Washburn (Anaheim Angels). All Sheboygan A's home games are played at Wildwood Baseball Park in Sheboygan. Connect with the A's on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube.
