Dan Duquette Sports Academy Releases 2005 Schedule
Spring Training Baseball & Softball Camp Will Open Season

Hinsdale, MA – October 27, 2004 – The Sports Academy has added programs and sessions at its state of the art facility in the Berkshires. New programs will be offered in Soccer and Roller Hockey. Specialized baseball sessions have also been added including, Hitting and Pitching, and a special session for High School players. Ushering in the year, in April, will be a Spring Training Baseball and Softball session, for boys and girls looking to get a jump on the season.

The Academy will also offer an Adult Baseball Fantasy Camp for those players who would like to share the field with veteran Major League Players.

Once again the Academy will hold a special Parent-Child weekend over the Memorial Day weekend. This unique event, that allows parents and their children to get an early start on the season, should once again be a sell out.

The schedule includes nine, six-day sessions for baseball and three for softball, running from mid June to mid August. Once again, basketball will be featured in August with two sessions for boys and one for girls. The new Roller Hockey and Soccer sessions will join existing programs in Football and Strength and Conditioning, bringing the total number of sports offered at the Academy to six.

“The response to the facility and instructors last year was outstanding,” Duquette said. “My goal was to build the finest facilities and fields available for youth sports training in New England. Based on the comments we’ve received, we’ve accomplished our objective. Last year we hosted boys and girls from all over the United States and Canada. Most left having enhanced their athletic skills, while enjoying the great recreational facilities we have in the Berkshires.”
