The Official Reds Baseball and Softball Camp is coming to Louisville for the first time ever this June [Family & Parenting]
If Baseball is the “American pastime,” the Cincinnati Reds are America’s team. They are the modern incarnation of the original Cincinnati Red Stockings, the oldest professional baseball team in the nation, and the celebrated organization continues to exude an awareness of its own rich history. Its mission to pass the Reds spirit down through the generations is being realized this summer with the launch of the Cincinnati Reds Baseball and Softball Camp, presented by Safeco Insurance.

Start date:
End date:
The official Cincinnati Reds Baseball and Softball Camp is being held in Louisville June 11-15, 2012, at Kentucky Country Day School and is open to boys and girls ages 6-14. The camp will run from Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and include 30 hours of instruction packed with skills development, competition, camaraderie and fun.
Campers will be given a full Reds uniform (jersey, pants, hat and belt), four tickets to a 2012 Reds game and a special graduation certificate commemorating his/her attendance at the inaugural season of the Cincinnati Reds Baseball and Softball Camps. On one of the five camp days, participants will be transported by bus to Great American Ball Park for a VIP behind-the-scenes tour of the bullpens, dugouts, batting cages, media room, broadcast booths and clubhouse. The camp includes special instruction from a Reds coach plus a guest appearance by a current Reds star. Each camper will get to compete in a skills competition with the championships held at Great American Ball Park. Campers will also have their swing recorded and analyzed by the camp video specialist using the same technology used by the Reds.
The Reds are committed to creating a world-class baseball instructional experience for boys and girls, and for parents and coaches who love baseball and softball as much as we do.

And while I will admittedly accept with gratitude a token of Mother’s Day thanks, my thoughts on the concept of parenthood run deeper than any greeting card could print – and use more expletives than would be acceptable for mass consumption.
