Diamond Star Baseball & Softball Camps Philosophy

The DIAMOND STAR CAMPS for baseball were created in 1999 by New Hampshire high school coaches Tom Underwood and Bob Price. Due to a great number of requests, softball was added in 2002-2009. Coaches Harry Blood and Tina Price from Plymouth State College, along with Marty Zarli from Moultonboro Academy, spearheaded this aspect of the camp.

The DIAMOND STAR CAMPS were founded on the theory that young, impressionable players needed a constructive summer where they could be taught the fundamentals of the game by successful and qualified coaches. The philosophy of all our baseball and softball camps is to accomplish rapid skill development through hard work and drills. Some of the drills used are chosen to teach fundamental skills to younger, less-experienced players. Other drills are designed to enhance the higher-level skills of older, more seasoned players. We are not a team-oriented, competitive, win-at-all-cost environment. We teach fundamentals in a fun, disciplined, challenging but non-competitive atmosphere. Each and every camper will leave DIAMOND STAR CAMPS with improved skills and a greater love and understanding for the games of baseball and softball.
