JRBC History
The longest running baseball camp in SWFL, the JRBC has already instructed more than 11,000 campers since 1988. Most notable alumni include Carmen Cali (L) Chris Resop and David Peterson. The first two are the first athletes from Collier County, FL to ever play in MLB. And Peterson is now a starting pitcher for the NY Mets. In addition to those three, roughly 200 former campers have advanced to compete at the collegiate and/or professional ranks.
