Our goal for the week is to teach our campers the skills and knowledge they need to know in order to become a better ball player. Just as importantly we hope that they have a fun time while at the camp along with making some new friends. We intend on accomplishing these goals through promoting sportsmanship throughout the week as well as making the campers compete at any opportunity possible.
"Next pitch"... Baseball is truly a mental game. Each day we will take time out to talk to the campers about the mental part of the game and not worrying about the last pitch but rather focusing on the next pitch.
Greg was born and raised a Canton Bulldog. He attended the Dean S Luce Elementary School, The Galvin Middle School and would eventually graduate from Canton High School with the class of 2005. He grew up playing Baseball as well as Basketball and Hockey and would play all three at the varsity level at CHS. He went on to be a 4 year starting pitcher at Division II - Southern New Hampshire University, where he had great success on the mound and in the classroom.
After graduating from SNHU he immediately began as an assistant coach of the varsity baseball team under Tom Healy at Canton High School, where he would do so until 2014. During that time he was hired as the Head Coach for Canton's Legion Baseball team in 2012 and has had great success building the program, taking them to the playoffs multiple times and the sectionals once. He still currently holds the position of Head Coach for the Canton Post 24's Legion Baseball team. In the spring he serves as the assistant for the varsity baseball team at Old Rochester High School (2nd season).
He has worked in the Special Education Department at Old Rochester High School, working one on one with students with various special needs since 2011. Greg has a passion for coaching and teaching as well as pride for his community and hopes to pass those traits along through his baseball camp.
"Greg has been a huge part of changing the culture around Bulldog Baseball! He has done a great job with our Legion program and has continued to be a part of our High School Baseball program. We discuss players development and work together to help get ourplayers to play at the next level. As the Varsity Baseball coach, I know Greg has the desire and motivation to get the community more involved and the Bulldog Baseball Camps are a perfect example of that. We are all dedicated to Canton Baseball and we look forward to seeing all of the young talented Canton Baseball players at Camps soon."

"Greg and his staff of instructors will provide an exciting learning experience for all the kids during this week. As the head coach for the Canton Legion Baseball team Greg has led this program into being one of the top 5 teams in a very tough district. Greg’s exemplary commitment to teaching young adults the game of baseball is a joy to watch. As the Canton Post 24 Manager, I hope that kids from Canton and surrounding communities sign up for this week of baseball instruction. What better way to spend a summer week learning the great game of baseball from one of the best players to come thru the Canton Little League Program. "
