Two-Sport Athlete Brian Jordan announces a series of baseball/softball camps aimed at scouting talent and inspiring children.
When former MLB star, Brian Jordan played for the Atlanta Braves, he made his childhood dreams come true. Since 1998 and more so since his retirement from baseball in 2006, Jordan has worked tirelessly within his children’s foundation to give less fortunate kids opportunities through health, fitness, literacy and scholarships. That mission is at the forefront of the baseball and softball camps on his calendar this summer. Jordan will be in Morristown, TN June 22th and 23rd.
“GameFace Sports Camps are really multi-purpose. I’ve always said ‘In Every Child There is the Potential for Excellence,’ so, we are out there right in the thick of it trying to prove that theory! We teach all five tools that kids need for baseball and the tools needed for softball too. My friends and I are able to teach, mentor and be a real and tangible example of success and that can matter so much to a child’s hope for his future. We are able, with the help of my foundation and the community to provide up to 20 scholarships for students that couldn’t otherwise afford the camp and finally we are looking for All-Stars! We’ll take the MVPs from each age group in each city and put them on an All-Star team that will travel to Orlando the week after Christmas and they’ll participate in the Game Face and Stars and Stripes Winter World Series at Universal Studios,” Jordan explained.
Only 25 students in each age group will be accepted into the camps. Along with Jordan other instructors on his list of probable Pro’s are former Braves catcher Javy Lopez, renowned Braves pitching coach Leo Mazzone, Golden Glove recipient Marquis Grissom among other MLB alumni.
“We are so excited to travel to these communities to meet and teach the kids and to build our world series teams!,” said Jordan. Baseball instruction is for ages 9-18 and softball instruction is for ages 11-18. The camp is open to the community, citizens are encouraged to come out and watch. For their participation, kids will receive two days of top caliber instruction, Game Face Sports Glasses, hat and jersey along with lunch both days.
