This FREE Baseball clinic is held in Memory of Terry Childers Sr. Terry grew up in Augusta Ga, just blocks away from SRP Park. After Terry completed his professional playing career, he coached many players from this area and had a positive impact on a lot of people’s lives. We ask that camp participants as well as anyone in the community that desires to bring can goods and nonperishable food items to SRP Park on Nov. 13. Our partners at Golden Harvest Food Bank will be collecting all items. This is a great time of year to help support our local food bank as well as a great time of the year for players in our area to give back to the community by providing awesome instruction that the kids will receive.
