The Meijer Baseball Academy is a hand-on training camp taught by players and coaches of the South Bend Cubs. All academy attendees will learn the fundamentals of the game of baseball and have a ton of FUN! The academy is open to children ages 7-13. In order for participants to receive maximum training, each session is limited to 80 participants.

RETURNING FOR 2026: Former South Bend Cubs infielder and current Director of Baseball Development and Recruiting for the 1st Source Bank Performance Center Delvin Zinn will manage both camps.

Fundamentals taught throughout the camp include:

• Hitting
• Pitching
• Fielding (infield and outfield)
• Catching
• Base Running

The registration fee for the three day camp is $150.00 per child if registered before June 1, 2025. All participants who register on and after May 27, 2026 will be charged $175 per child. All attendees will receive a Meijer Baseball Academy t-shirt, a South Bend Cubs hat, lunch after each day of camp and four (4) tickets to a South Bend Cubs game where all Academy campers will participate in a pre-game on-field recognition.
