TEMECULA — The Temecula Valley Golden Bears baseball team is giving back this fall by hosting a Youth Skills Camp aimed at players ages 9 to 14. Scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 6, from 10 a.m. to noon at the TV Varsity Field, the initiative both supports young athletes and helps raise crucial funds for the high school baseball program.

Organized in partnership with the Temecula Baseball Diamond Club, the camp allows local kids to learn directly from varsity players while supporting a 100-percent volunteer, non-profit booster club. All proceeds help fund equipment, field maintenance, travel, and opportunities for student-athletes.

Participation costs $50 per player, with registration limited to just 30 spots to guarantee hands-on instruction. Young athletes will take part in drills and exercises designed to build skills, teamwork, and confidence. Varsity players, many once campers themselves, will be on hand to share tips and encourage the next generation.

Organizers emphasize the camp’s sense of connection, noting that engaging with high school players not only builds baseball fundamentals but gives kids a sense of what it takes to compete at higher levels. Campers are required to bring appropriate baseball attire, gear, and a protective helmet. Parents must also sign a liability waiver on site.

Families interested in the camp should register soon on the Temecula Baseball Diamond Club’s online store. At checkout, parents are asked to include the player’s name and age in the notes to seller. Once registration is full, a waitlist will begin for a similar camp planned for October.

With tax-deductible contributions supporting every aspect of Bears baseball, this camp embodies the spirit of community involvement. Organizers hope to not only help kids grow as ballplayers but also inspire them to become part of the high school’s tradition in the years ahead.
