The 2026 camp season will be Diamond Skills Camp 17th consecutive year of youth baseball and athletic camps in Alameda and surrounding Bay Area communities. 

 

Diamond Skills Camp was created to offer youth a safe, fun, and competitive environment focused on improving baseball (and athletic) skills. It's structured to be engaging, varied (with dozens of different drills), and designed to foster confidence and a lifelong passion for sports.

 

The camp emphasizes individualized attention—coaches identify each camper’s strengths and areas to grow, tailoring instruction appropriately whether a child is a beginner or an all-star. 

Reps- The goal is small group and individual drills to obtain lots of reps

 

 

Coaching Staff- The founders and directors of the camp are at camp each and every day. In addition, all coaches have participated in camps when they were camp age or played for the coaching staff in travel ball, interscholastic, and/or collegiate level. 

 

Indoor Facility- Alameda campes have access each week to hit and train in the Pearl Cages. Now with our brand new Hit Trax System.

 

Outside of athletic training, the program also includes strength & conditioning and nutrition education, aiming to support the overall development and healthy lifestyle of each camper.

"Diamond Skills Camp is the best camp my son Jackson has ever attended. He learned so much about the game, built his skills, and most importantly, he had a great time. The coaches greeted him each day with such enthusiasm, and when I picked him up in the afternoon he was fired up and ready for more!"
