About our Camp
The Prairie Baseball Academy is excited to once again be offering our Winter Camp to youth baseball players in the Lethbridge and surrounding areas. This will be the 10th year PBA runs their Winter Camp, and our coaching staff is striving to continue to pro-vide the best instruction possible for your children.
Every night, we will provide at least one current PBA coach and 6-8 current players in the program to provide instruction. Our goal as a coaching staff is to work on improving all necessary baseball skills while maintaining a fun and safe learning environment.
Baseball in Lethbridge continues to grow year after year, and we want to make sure PBA does it’s part to help continue that growth. The hard work campers have put in during the winter months over the last 10 years has directly correlated to the success Lethbridge has had at the national level.
