SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- As baseball season approaches for players of all ages, the South Bend Cubs have opened registration for its 2025 Meijer Baseball Academy which will have two sessions this summer.

The first session will run from June 18-20 and the second session will happen Aug. 6-8 for kids between the ages of seven and 13. Each session will be limited to no more than 80 kids.

"New for this season, former South Bend Cubs infielder and current Director of Baseball Development and Recruiting for the 1st Source Bank Performance Center Delvin Zinn will manage both camps," the organization said. "Members of the South Bend Cubs roster will continue to lead individual stations during the camp."

The three-day camps are designed to teach young ball players the fundamentals of hitting, pitching, fielding (infield and outfield), catching, and base running.

"Each participant will receive a Meijer Baseball Academy t-shirt, a South Bend Cubs hat, lunch after each day of camp, and four tickets to a South Bend Cubs game," the organization said. "Attendees from the first camp will receive tickets for the game on June 19 and campers from the second session will receive tickets for Aug. 7."

Additionally, all participants will be able to take part in a pre-game recognition on the field.

Registration is now open online with the cost of each session being $150 if registered before May 26, and $175 for those who register on and after May 26.

Once payment is complete, parents will receive an order confirmation along with a link to add their child’s information.

Camp will run from 9 a.m. to 11:45 a.m., with lunch at 11:50 a.m. and pickup at noon. The deadline to register for session one is May 24 and the deadline for session two is July 3.

Organizers say the same skills are taught at both camps and parents only need to register for one session.

The team will hold a contest to award free admission to the camp to two kids. Contest details will be available on their Facebook and X (formerly Twitter) pages in May.
