Potential camp participants can access the registration site via GoRedbirds.com or log onto CollegeBaseballCamps.com and search for Illinois State. Online registrants will be charged a small processing fee.
"Our intention is to make registering for Redbird baseball camps as easy as possible," Illinois State assistant coach Mike Current said. "Online registration can be a benefit to those looking to save time or the headache of dealing with mail. Our camps are a great opportunity for players to improve their skills and we want to make registering simple."
Current said traditional forms will still be accepted and have been coming in since the fall and winter camps were announced, but space remains open for all of the Redbird clinics.
