JRBC History
The longest running baseball camp in SWFL, the JRBC has already instructed more than 12,000 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, more than 200 former campers have advanced to compete at the collegiate and/or professional ranks.

THE NEW JUAN ROMERO BASEBALL CAMP GUIDELINES
- The goal of the JRBC is to try and keep everyone healthy by reducing interpersonal contact to limit potential exposure to the COVID-19 virus. Our biggest concern will always be the safety of your child and that of our staff. For that reason, we will implement the following guidelines:
1. Parents/Guardians will check the temperature of each camper at home before arriving to camp each day. Should a camper have a fever of 100.3 F or above or have any COVID-19 symptoms, he/she will stay home and Coach Romero will be notified immediately at 239-732-9664. Please leave us a message if we are unavailable.
2. We strongly recommend that the campers bring sanitizers to camp daily.
3. All personal equipment, including bags and hats, must have full name on them.
4. Baseballs - Each team will have a bucket of balls assigned to them during an entire camp session.
5. Family members may visit the camp. However, we ask you to please maintain a proper distance and bring your own chairs. The campers will need all available bleacher space for their equipment and for social distancing to start and finish the day.
6. All campers and coaches will wash hands approximately every 30 minutes. However, face masks are NOT mandatory for the baseball camps.
7. Teams will maintain social distancing during: instruction, water breaks, restroom use, batting cage areas, and games. Dugouts will never have more than one team at a time.
8. Campers check in upon arrival and sit in the designated areas by teams.

10. Campers bring their own bats, gloves, hats, etc. and never share personal items, including water bottles.

12. Parent or legal guardian, just a reminder that you are holding harmless the Juan Romero Baseball Camp, the JRBC Director, the JRBC coaches and staff, for any potential contagious disease acquired while participating in any JRBC event.
Thanks for following these guidelines. Our biggest concern will always be the safety of your child and that of the JRBC coaching staff.
