If you like baseball and a good cause, look no further than Richmond Hill High School, where the Wildcats are hosting a Toys for Tots Baseball Camp on Saturday at the school baseball field.

Campers can attend by bringing a toy to donate to Toys for Tots and might want to show up early. The one-day camp, which will focus on baseball fundamentals and strength and conditioning, is limited to 50 players ages 8 to eighth grade to ensure a productive player/instructor ratio, according to the camp brochure.

Among the instructors will RHHS head baseball coach Stacy Bennett and his staff, and Richmond Hill pitching coach Scott Strickland.

Also instructing will be former players Kevin Matthews, who was drafted first by the Texas Rangers last season, and Armstrong Atlantic State University outfielder Nathan Ward.

Current Wildcat players also will be instructing at the camp, which will run from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. Campers need to bring a bat, helmet, gloves and cleats and wear baseball plants, warm clothes and protective gear. They also will need to bring their own lunch.

In addition, Richmond Hill is hosting its 2013 Winter Baseball Camp from Jan. 2-4 at the baseball field.

Limited to 50 campers, the cost is $75 per player and includes a cmap shirt. The deadline to register is Dec. 21.
