Experience the Israel Baseball journey of a lifetime!

The Ultimate Israel Baseball Experience

Join a lineup of Israel Baseball legends and live out your childhood dream of becoming a Team Israel baseball player!

From the moment you walk into the clubhouse and see your name on the back of your personalized uniform, you will be treated as if you were an Israel Baseball player preparing for the next World Baseball Classic.

You will learn from Israel Baseball personnel during a baseball-filled week of excitement at the Spring Training home complex of the Miami Marlins and St. Louis Cardinals in Jupiter, Florida. You and your teammates will take the field together, run through big league drills, and hone the fundamentals of hitting, fielding, catching, throwing, pitching, and base running. Finally, put it all to the test in multiple games on professional fields.

Your experience as an Israel Baseball fantasy camper will be guided by current and former Israel Baseball players, coaches, managers, training and clubhouse staff. Combined, these groups brings significant MLB, WBC, and Olympic experience.
