GGBC holds Third Annual Catcher’s Camp at O’Hara
March 3, 2009
Ross Township, PA - The third annual GGBC Catcher’s Camp was held on Saturday, February 28th at Cardinal O’Hara High School in Tonawanda, NY. Youth league catchers participated in a variety of drills during the morning session from 9-11 AM. High school catchers worked out during the afternoon session from 12-2:30 PM.
“I’m very happy with the what we we’ve been able to accomplish in our first three years,” said GGBC Director Don Fontana, “the program addresses all aspects of catching, and I’m confident that our campers will enjoy themselves while learning more about the most important position on the baseball field.”
“This wouldn’t have been possible with Angelo Sciandra’s (Athletic Director, Cardinal O’Hara High School) help, so I’m very grateful to him for letting us use the gym and help our campers prepare for the upcoming season,” added Fontana.
