UNF Baseball Staff Leading Jacksonville’s Top Youth Camps

At Coach Merc Baseball Camps, we believe the best instruction comes from the highest level of experience. That’s why every camp is led by the University of North Florida’s collegiate baseball coaches and supported by current and former college players. Whether your child is stepping onto the field for the first time or preparing for competitive travel ball, our staff brings the energy, knowledge, and mentorship that young players need to succeed.

Our Approach to Coaching Youth Baseball

Whether your player is just starting or ready to grow into their role on the diamond, we meet each athlete where they are!

Our philosophy is built on three principles:

Youth baseball players training with UNF Baseball players at Jacksonville Fl's Harmon Stadium during Coach Merc Baseball Camp.

Develop Fundamentals First

We start with the basics: clean mechanics, proper footwork, and smart baseball decisions.

Keep the Game Fun

From simulated games to team competitions, we make sure every camper leaves with a smile.

Foster Confidence Through Reps

More swings, more ground balls, more learning through hands-on instruction and positive feedback.
