Summer Baseball Camp General Information Our camps offer an opportunity for players of all ages to receive quality instruction from some of the top baseball instructors in the game today. With a very low camper-to-coach ratio, campers receive personalized instruction focused on the development of their skills and attitude. The baseball camp coaching staff develops the instructional and fundamental programs for each of the camps. Our primary goal is to help each camper develop a positive mental attitude about themselves and the game of baseball.
Accommodations Complementing our baseball facilities and providing campers overnight housing is University Towers, an off-campus dormitory in the heart of the West Campus area.

first-served basis. Each session is limited in the number of our application deadlines. Upon receiving each application, a confirmation letter and packet of information, including medical forms, are sent to each admitted camper. In order to participate, all medical forms must be completely filled out and a physician must sign the Pre-Activity Clearance form. Any physical taken within one year of the chosen camp may serve as an acceptable substitute to the clearance form in the event that a time limit renders a physician’s signature unattainable. UT athletics trainers are on duty to care for minor injuries and illness. For more serious problems, the UT Student Health Center is available. Campers’ parents or guardians, as indicated on the application form, are billed for all medical services rendered by the designated camp physician.
Facilities UFCU Disch-Falk Field serves as the home for Texas Baseball Camps. Having just completed the $26-million renovation, UT now has one of the premier facilities in college baseball. The renovation of the facility includes new turf, a new façade, suites, press box, ticket office, and team store. In addition to replacement of the field lighting system, an upgraded sound system, improved seating areas and a concourse with new concessions and restrooms have been added. Players enjoy new locker rooms, training facilities, and batting cages. Furthermore, Red and Charline McCombs Field, home of the Texas softball team, and a facility considered among the best in the nation, is utilized for camp training. Here campers have the opportunity to improve their skills on one of the nation’s finest natural grass playing surfaces.
