San Diego Padres Baseball Camps for Children Between Five and 12


Nadia Larysa spends much of her time enjoying various hobbies and activities. An avid sports fan, she enjoys watching professional baseball and attends live baseball games whenever she has the chance. With San Diego being her favorite city, Nadia Larysa roots for the San Diego Padres.

Dedicated to giving back to its community, the San Diego Padres maintains numerous programs and events that are funded by the Padres Foundation. One such program is the San Diego Padres Baseball Camps. 

Designed for children between the ages of five and 12, these baseball camps are available during summertime and are offered throughout the San Diego area. Each camp is split into different divisions based on age: Rookies, Single-A, Double-A, Triple-A, and Majors. The camps are designed to enrich the lives of child athletes through exceptional baseball instruction, character development, and the rare chance to create lifetime memories through a unique Major League experience.

Each Padres Baseball Camp lasts for one week and grants participants with an official baseball camp uniform, an autographed photo of either a Padres player or the team's coach, and the chance to meet a current or former player or coach. Further, all baseball camp participants are given two tickets to a camp reunion event in August and a limited edition camper pin. Tuition for the five days of baseball camp runs around $525.

Jered Weaver Joins San Diego Padres



  An avid cook, Nadia Larysa enjoys preparing meals for friends and family; she names Italian dishes as among her favorites. Nadia Larysa is also a baseball fan and supports the San Diego Padres, who have recently come to a deal with pitcher Jered Weaver. 

A right-handed pitcher who spent the past 11 seasons with the Los Angeles Angels, Jered Weaver recorded an earned-run average (ERA) of 3.55 and notched a selection to the All-Star Game three times over the course of his time with the Angels. Despite his overall success with the Angels, he posted his two worst ERAs during his last two campaigns, with last year’s ERA coming in at 5.06. However, Weaver didn’t miss a single game to injury last season and completed a team-leading 178 innings. 

A native of Southern California, Weaver will stay close to home after signing a one-year, $3 million deal with the Padres, but he will have to compete for a rotation spot in the Padres’ young bullpen.

Three Tips for Making the Perfect Italian Meatballs


When Nadia Larysa is not attending theatrical productions or San Diego Padres games, she enjoys creating traditional Italian meals for her family and friends. Nadia Larysa is especially fond of making pizza, pasta, and meatballs at home. 

Few treats are tastier than homemade Italian meatballs, but getting them just right can be tricky. Consider the following tips the next time you make meatballs.

1. Choose meat with plenty of fat. Fatty cuts of beef, lamb, and pork make the most tender meatballs. Blends of these meats will be more flavorful than meatballs made from just one type.

2. Keep ingredients cold. As soon as the fats in meat start to warm up, they began to break down. If all the ingredients are chilled, the meatballs will stay together better.

3. Use a gentle touch when forming meatballs. If meatballs are packed too tight, they will be tough. If they are not packed well enough, they may fall apart. For best results, work gently and quickly using your hands.
