Classes are lead by Mark Linden, Director of Baseball Positive; a former professional player and NCAA D-I Head Coach. These classes give a player everything they need to develop a fundamentally sound batting swing and pitching delivery. All attendees receive a detailed Instruction Guide with drills, pictures, and videos. This serves as a Handbook for a player to use for continued skill development throughout the 2025 season.
These are Adult-Child programs
Each Pitcher must bring an adult (or responsible teen) to catch their pitches. All players pitch at the same time.
Some Batting drills involve an assistant (adult) helping the player. During swing work, the players are given specific focus points. An involved adult helps the batter stay better focused.
In both classes, having an adult on hand, with the player, provides greater safety and a better learning environment for the kids. While these are ‘group’ programs, each player works individually.
Summer Camps — Begin June 30
Baseball Positive Summer Baseball Games Camps, the most popular summer baseball camp in Western Washington. Why? …ours has the perfect combination of Fun combined with sound instruction of fundamental skills. The skills of the game and ‘How to Play the Game’ are taught at a kids level, communicated in a way that kids clearly understand, can digest, and translate to their play on the field.
Signing up to play in an older age group is OK (playing with a younger group is fine also) …consider the social experience of your child.
Our objective is for each player to have the best possible experience. Please place your player with this goal in mind.
Open to boys and girls ages 6-12: Camps are held in Seattle, Eastside & South Sno County

Batting Class Description
Teaches the entire batting swing. Also, mental approach and how to practice with a purpose. Players learn how to fully utilize the body to maximize power, bat speed and produce a consistently accurate swing.
This is an Adult-Child program. Kids are more focused and behaved in this environment. They learn quicker and better establish the habits to continue development over the long-term. A core aspect of the learning process is daily 'Homework' (2 minutes per day to develop Muscle Memory). Parent involvement assures that the child learns the importance of, and is sure to practice, the Daily Drills between class sessions.
Teaching is presented on a 'kid level'; easy for the player to digest and translate to success on the field.
Program notes are provided prior to, and following, each workout. Players receive a drill plan for working out at home between each session. This aspect of the program ensures the kids maximize their learning. The home workouts are short in duration and designed with the attention span of a kid in mind. ...no equipment is needed to practice at home.
At the end of the program each participant receives a comprehensive guide for continuing their development. The guide includes all content taught in the class; includes video and pictures to support all instruction.

Mark, My boys (9 & 11 yrs) look forward to each hitting class. You have a great sense and awareness for each players’ ability and in helping them understand what is being taught…Both boys have advanced greatly while working with you. They hit with so much more confidence. -Coach Mark O., West Seattle
Mark worked with our 12 year-old All-Stars…a simple approach to all aspects of the game… The kids were applying what was being shown right away and their hitting improved from day one.
– Mark M., Former Pres. North Seattle Baseball Association
Coach Mark, I grew up playing different sports and my kids are now involved with many sports …never have I experienced something so technical explained and broken down so clearly like this. Thank you for the follow up info…this is very helpful for us. Gio and I are looking fwd to the next hitting classes. -Jerry (Gio's father)

Camp Description
Expertly designed to teach the game at a kids level, so they ‘Get it’. Instructors have extensive playing experience and knowledge of the game. Each goes through Baseball Positive’s training program to learn ‘How to Teach the Game to Kids’.
Most of camp time is dedicated to PLAYING GAMES. The kids learn through their PLAY! Having FUN is the primary goal of the camp, and FUN is had while learning. Woven into the Games format is teaching fundamental skills: throwing, catching, fielding and base running. Players are taught ‘How to Play the Game’ in addition to fundamental skills. Priority emphasis on teaching the Batting Swing.
Games run at a lightning fast pace using Baseball Positive’s modified game format. The objective is to give players a huge amount of game situations, and play, in a short amount of time. Constant action, no standing around waiting for the ball to be put into play. All players are active, busy and learning throughout the week. Be sure to pack extra water! :)

What my son really loves about the Baseball Positive camp experience is the pace of play. Coaches keep the kids active with tried-and-true drills that improve core skills - in a fun environment. His favorite camp of the year. -Mike, parent
The Baseball Positive camps provide solid baseball mechanics and fundamentals in a fun and inclusive environment. My son got more individual instruction and takeaways from Baseball Positive than he did at some of the more "glitzy" camps he has attended. -Geoff, Coach/Parent
My son has attended multiple Baseball Positive Camps over the years. Following each camp, he can’t wait to get involved with the next one, primarily because the camps are so much fun!
