This is the 8th year for the program in Everett.
Brent Lillibridge grew up in Everett and played in the Major Leagues and is now back teaching baseball skills to the next generation of ballplayers.
Since that time more than 1400 kids from our area have attended the week-long camp that teaches both baseball skills and healthy choices to boys and girls from ages 8 – 12.
This year’s camp kicked off just before nine o’clock this morning.
Through Friday two hundred kids will rotate around the various stages of the program working with volunteer coaches including police officers, current and former college and high school coaches and even former major league baseball player Brent Lillibridge.
In addition to Everett Police and the Boys and Girls Clubs of Snohomish County, 7-11 Stores and the Mukilteo School District are also supporting the program locally. Here are a few photos from the opening day fun. Click photo to enlarge.
