PLAY BALL with the pros!

The most memorable week of baseball in your life.
January 20 - January 27, 2008

Talent not required
It's not whether you win or lose that counts here, it's that you love the game. In other words, your skill level doesn't matter. The A's Fantasy Camp is a week of fun and memories for baseball lovers of all shapes, sizes and ages. You don't need to be good. You just need to love the game -- and be over 30 years old.

The game's best help you be your best
How would you like one-on-one instruction from some of the Major League's best players? You got it. The pros are here to help you improve your game while you're having fun. So if you'd like to perfect your curve ball, boost your slugging percentage or learn to turn a double play, this is the place to do it.

Relax and kick back with the pros
Would you like to hear what it's really like to play in a World Series from someone who's been there? Just ask. Every evening you have a chance to talk to and get to know some of the best players in the game. Ask them questions, have them sign memorabilia, or just hang out and listen to their stories. Guaranteed you'll learn more about them than you ever did by reading the sports pages.

Your field of dreams
You practice and play at the beautiful Papago Sports Complex in Phoenix, one of the best training facilities that Major League Baseball has to offer. The fields are meticulously maintained daily by the same professional grounds crew that prepares them when the Oakland A's are here for Spring Training. In other words, it's the real deal.

Play Ball! All day long. All week long.
The Oakland A's Fantasy Camp is a once-in-a-lifetime dream for any baseball fan. Your schedule is baseball, baseball, and more baseball, just like the pros. And just like the pros, there are people here to help you play better. Your team has two retired A's stars as coaches. Professional trainers help you work out the kinks and loosen up. Professional equipment managers make sure everything is washed and ready to go each morning. All you have to do is play the game. Which, by the way, happens every day.

Play side by side with your idols
Ever wonder what it would be like to play for such baseball greats as Dave Henderson, Dave Stewart, Joe Rudi, John "Blue Moon" Odom, Bert Campaneris, Terry Steinbach, Carney Lansford, Mike Moore, Shooty Babitt or Greg Cadaret? You'll find out. They, along with a few surprise guest pros, are our coaching staff (subject to change).

See yourself in the sports section
Making headlines is easy when there's a professional video crew and photographer capturing every moment. Each night after dinner, they'll present a highlight reel of that day's action. Each morning there's a newsletter featuring photos and stories from the prior day. If a picture is worth a thousand words, these memories are priceless.

Take on the pros
Do your have what it takes to pitch against Dave Henderson? Or face a Dave Stewart fast ball? You'll have that once-in-alifetime chance when the pros take on the Fantasy Camp guests at the end of the week at the beautiful Phoenix Municipal Stadium. So take the field and see how well you come through in the clutch.
