Amaral heads camp

Rich Amaral, who played baseball at Estancia High before his 10-year

professional career in the majors, along with former Orange Coast

College players Joe Ronquillo and Bill French, will lead two four-day

sessions of a baseball camp this summer in Costa Mesa.

The first session will be held from 1 to 4 p.m. July 10, 11, 18

and 25. The second camp is scheduled Aug. 7, 8, 15 and 22.

Field sites have not been determined yet.

Price is $125 per session.

The camps will focus on specialized instruction on fundamentals

and detailed drills for hitters, pitchers and catchers.

Class sizes will be small to facilitate proper instruction.

Parents are encouraged to follow their children through each

station.

Amaral played all positions except pitcher and catcher in a career

with the Seattle Mariners and Baltimore Orioles.

Ronquillo is in his fifth year as an Orange Coast assistant and

was the head coach at both Corona del Mar and Laguna Beach. French

played for Chapman University and has also coached at CdM and Laguna

Beach.
