I went when I was about 12 or so. Best time of my life. Hitting and pitching at the old box was always a childhood dream. Bonus was after we loaded the buses to leave the coaches brought us by the hooters and all the girls were standing outside waving to the bus. For a 12 year old, what else could you ask for!!!

It’s been a long time, I just remember stepping on that field and thought that was the coolest thing. Maybe not for everyone

Sorry for the a-hole response to your OP. I’m glad you had a good time and I’m sure a bunch of other kids did too.

I went a couple years. I know Johnnie Thibodeaux was my group LSU player. I remember we had a guy from USL at the time and his nickname was “noid”. He was driving the bus fricking off and he clipped another buses big mirror when driving by and glass flew in and cut up some kids face. Good times.

I went a few times. Had Patrick Coogan as coach my first year. Was a ton of fun at the old box. Have a pic with me and Skip down the first base line bleachers. Got to go swimming at the nat, play stick ball, etc. lot of fun.

Wish I could have experienced the goat camp, instead of that Paul Marinara camp

Went for 3 or 4 years. Most memorable thing was the counselors dressing up like the American Gladiators and putting on a show.

If we hit one over they made us run abs go get it.

I went for about 5 years. Had a great time. Had Matt Colvin and Jeremy Witten as my coaches for a couple of the years.

What year was that? This sounds familiar. I went twice in the mid-late 80s, not sure which years. It was fun. Only time I hit a HR over a fence in a game, and it wasn't even a real field. We were just set up in a fence corner by the old practice fields. Someone stepped on my hand with cleats, that hurt for a few days.
