BUFORD, Ga.,-This week, Buford youth baseball camp created anticipation and excitement for our student-athletes.
With more than 175 campers from the ages of 5 to 13 according to Head baseball coach, Stuart Chester. Chester was excited about the participation this year as last year's camp was canceled due to the pandemic.
The camp capitalized on leadership pulling in PE coaching staff, JV coaches, Varsity coaching staff and empowers the BHS baseball players to serve as camp coaches.
Chester said, "We teach fundamentals and skills we use in our program. The best thing about camp is we get to show our future student-athletes and parents the true meaning of #family. "
Fun along with fundamentals are passed down from the Varsity Baseball players, leading the drills and keeping athletes on task. The discipline of excellence is modeled to the campers.
Chester said, "The campers get so much from getting advice and direction from our players. But, even better, our players get more out of serving our community and building a relationship with the young Wolves who watch them play each week during the season. We believe that better people make better Wolves, and it all starts with the intangibles and culture that Buford has been built around."
Buford's culture of excellence in athletics doesn't focus only on winning games; it's about relationships, explains Coach Chester. "We hope we have helped enhance and develop better baseball skills, but more importantly, started a relationship with these young campers that will last the rest of their time here at Buford and life," said Chester.
