FLORENCE, S.C. – Francis Marion University has announced two sessions of its Baseball Camp 2008, an opportunity for young athletes to develop and polish their diamond skills.

The annual camp, for children ages 7-12, will be held June 23-27 and July 7-11 from 9 a.m. until noon each day. Conducted by Francis Marion head baseball coach Art Inabinet and members of the Patriot baseball team, the camps will stress learning basic game strategy and making the most of individual skills.

Inabinet is in his eighth year at the helm of the FMU baseball program, and has more than 300 career coaching victories. He guided the Patriots to the 2006 NCAA Division II College World Series, and the program has consistently been ranked in the national poll.

Applications for the camps are now being accepted. The camps will cost $60 per session, if paid in advance, or $70 on the first day of camp. Enrollment is limited. Each camper will receive a T-shirt.
