Coach Ballance's comments on these 2 unique camps: "I am so glad to have just enough time and a lot of energy to offer my signature camp series for the 3rd consecutive summer! This year has been awesome and with being the head coach at Good Counsel and the great things we are doing, this just ups my excitement and I feel blessed to have the opportunity to meet and work with more players and families. This summer as always, it just gets bigger and better. Bringing back the “camper of the day awards”, just adds to the level of competition, that I always try to create and foster to help these ball players reach their max potential and reach their individual goals in a team setting. I feel that baseball in our area just keeps getting stronger and thats a credit to all the hard working, players, coaches and parents that help these young people in all the baseball endeavors they pursue. I am thrilled that I get to help in that process! The number 1 question I have been asked this year is... “How do you create that “Ballance Culture”? The answer is simple, bring the energy, bring the great attitude, bring the excitement and give them a reason to want to be here day in and day out! Once that occurs the learning and development takes off like a rocket to the moon! This camp series in year 4 will continue to build upon that, and I cant wait to see familiar faces and all the newcomers this year! The Summer of 2024! Let’s get it!
