Ozzie Guillen Will Lead Kids' Baseball Camp In Oak Lawn

OAK LAWN, IL — Boys and girls ages 6 through 14 are invited to come out to Westside Baseball of Oak Lawn's summer baseball drills camp and competition, featuring special guest instructor World Series Champion Ozzie Guillen. The clinic runs from 4 to 8 p.m. July 11 at the Westside Baseball Complex, located at 9400 S. Oak Park Ave.

Spaces are limited so reserve a spot for your kid today. The cost is $75 and includes a T-shirt and pictures with Ozzie. The camp features home run, throwing and running contests. Proceeds from the camp benefit Westside Baseball.

"Ozzie is donating his time," said Ernie Pedroza, a Westside Baseball parents and organizer of the drills camp. "The baseball fields are the best shape they’ve ever been."

Ozzie Guillen led the Chicago White Sox to a World Series Championship in 2005.

Campers will be split into age groups. Ozzie will spend time with each age group. Westside Baseball is also partnering with For The Love Of The Game in Bridgeview. Trainers from the indoor baseball facility and players from the Windy City Thunderbolts will be assisting in the drills camp.
