In Major League Baseball, spring training is a sequence of practices and demonstration games previous to the start of the regular season. Spring training lets new players test for the roster and position spots, and gives existing team players practice time before the regular games start up. Spring training has always attracted fan attention, drawing crowds who travel to the warmer climates to enjoy the weather and watch their favorite teams play, and spring training typically overlaps with spring break for many college students.
Spring training normally lasts almost two months, starting in mid February until just before the season opening day, traditionally the first week of April. Pitchers and catchers report to spring training first because pitchers benefit from a longer training period due to the exhaustive nature of the position. A week or two later, the position players arrive and team practice begins.
The Los Angeles Dodgers go “halves” on the Camelback Ranch ballpark and training complex with the Chicago White Sox. Opening in 2009, the multifaceted features include multiple full and partial practice fields for each team, dedicated clubhouses for the minor leaguers, and plenty of parking for all.
It is unlike any spring-training complex in the Cactus League, more reminiscent of the larger complexes in Florida. It's designed to bring you the total baseball experience. Most fans will park in the corner of the spring-training complex and stroll through the training fields before arriving at the ballpark. Intersecting the walk to the ballpark is a flowing stream, with Dodgers practice fields on the right and White Sox practice fields on the left. Entering the ballpark through center-field gates, you'll be presented with one of the prettiest facilities in the Cactus League, a ballpark that feels like it's been part of the Arizona landscape for decades. Attending a game at Camelback Ranch is an enjoyable experience in spring training, and one you should definitely check out!
