Dear Takoma Sportscamps Families,
I hope to run camp this summer, but I will not know until early February if it will be possible. Please check back with us. I hope we can make this work.
If things work out the plan
is to use TPMS and run the same schedule we have used in the
past.
Right now everything is on hold while I wait to hear from the Office of Community Use of Public Facilities of Montgomery County. Originally I was told everything was approved, but on January 14th they sent me this link saying my application is on hold, and they are not accepting any gym requests at this time due to the rise in Covid cases.

Potential 2022 Takoma Sportscamps Softball Camp Sessions:
Softball Camp Daily Schedule
Morning Camp Talk:
Daily overview by Coach Hoelman, of skils, stations, contests, game schedule, and daily reminders about sportsmanship, safety, and dealing with the heat.
Warm Up:
Campers participate in a whole camp softball warm-up, to prepare them for the day.
Morning Stations:
Campers participate in four to six stations each day, working on all the skills invovled in softball.
Lunch:
Campers eat lunch in an air conditioned cafeteria. Campers bring their own lunch, except on Wednesdays (pizza day). A small snack bar is also available for campers to purchase drinks and snacks.
Cool Down:
Campers relax before their afternoon games, in an air conditioned gym. A short portion of a baseball movie (League of Their Own) is shown, "stump the coach" is played, and the "play of the day" award is presented.
Afternoon Games:
Campers participate in a week long tournament, which allows them to work on their new skills in game situations to maximize improvement.
Fridays:
Campers participate in morning Olympic stations, where campers compete at eight skills stations as a culminating activity for skill development. In the afternoon, campers play in their championship or consolation activity, followed by a brief awards ceremony in the auxiliary gym.
