High School Prospect Camp

The Kohawk team and staff work hard to provide quality instruction that will lead to the athlete's overall improvement in individual skills that will translate to successful play on the field. To that end, the Kohawks are coming off back to back trips to the Super Regionals including a 3rd place finish at the 2023 College World Series.
