St. Aloysius finished its second week of summer youth sports camps by hosting softball and baseball camps at Halls Ferry Park and Bazinsky Field.

Nearly 30 children in grades 1-6 attended each camp, which featured instruction and drills led by St. Al players and coaches. Guest instructors at the softball camp included local Division I college players Hannah Embry (North Alabama) and Abby Morgan (Southern Miss).

St. Al has one more summer camp scheduled, with its Cheer and Flashettes Kiddie Camp on Aug. 9. The camp will run from 9 a.m. to noon in the St. Al gym. It is for girls in Pre-K through sixth grade, and the cost is $75. Online registration is available through GoFan.co.
