Baseball Camp Offered for Rowan, Cabarrus Kids

KANNAPOLIS — For the third year, the Kannapolis Police Department will present the Wendy's Summer Classic baseball camp to boys and girls in Cabarrus and Rowan counties.

The brainchild of Lt. Bret Johnson with the Kannapolis Police Department, the weeklong baseball camp is aimed at teaching the kids — ages 8 to 13 — the fundamentals of baseball along with another important lesson.

The camp will run from June 23 to 26 on the fields at Northwest Cabarrus High School from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., and is free for the participants. Johnson has gotten sponsors to cover the cost of the camp. Space is limited to the first 100 students that register and so far, 60 people have registered for the camp. Each year, there is a waiting list.

Coaches on tap to help lead this year's camp include Joe Hubbard, Northwest Cabarrus head coach; Empsy Thompson, A.L. Brown High School head coach; Joe Gragg, China Grove Middle School coach; Jason Sarvis, J.M. Robinson head coach; Jason Hooks, Northwest Cabarrus coach; Craig Steward, Mooresville High School coach; Todd Hagler, A.L. Brown coach; Jim Gant, Catawba College coach; David Langley, Northwest Cabarrus coach; Thad Chrismon, South Rowan High School coach; and Mark Hayes, Pfeiffer University coach.

The participants will be divided up by age groups and assigned an officer, who will stay with that group all week. The groups will rotate from coach to coach, getting a chance to learn from each of the coaches.

At the end of each day, there will be a featured speaker to talk about positive life choices. Speakers on tap for this year's camp include Mike Morton, a former St. Louis Rams football player and current dentist in Kannapolis; Cabarrus County Sheriff Brad Riley; and Lauren Hibs, the coach at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. If any of the speakers falls through, Johnson said it's possible that a famous NASCAR driver could be a guest speaker.

The coaches, officers and featured speakers will teach the kids all week about baseball as well as making positive life choices and the consequences of making poor choices such as using drugs, joining gangs and violence.

On the last day of the camp, there will be a coaches forum, where coaches will tell the students what they look for in baseball players and give those participants a chance to ask questions.

In addition to Wendy's restaurant, other sponsors include ASE Communications, Cheerwine, Quality Motors, Mike Morton Dentist Office, Quality Home Improvements, Attorney Ben Franklin, Bill Reames Nationwide Insurance Agent, Sun Drop, the Salisbury Post, Dick's Sporting Goods and Bost Bonding Agency.

To register for the camp, or if you have more questions, contact Lt. Bret Johnson at the Kannapolis Police Department at 704-920-4016.
