    Just want to say, great job Ken Bailey on one of the most informative and interesting softball clinics I have ever attended. Hs, travel, and college coaches benefited from the expertize of Mike Candrea, Ralph Weekly, Karen Johns, Coach Whitlock, and and the other great speakers as well as the many questions from the crowd. It was great to see the passion all these coaches bring to the profession and it was also a treat to see all the wonderful travel, HS, and college coaches trying to hone their skills. Hats off to all of U!
    Have an awesome 2007 and let Ken know how much U all appreciate his efforts. OOPS, don't forget Ken's wife, she was wonderful managing several different jobs as she assisted speakers, attendees, and the hotel staff!:newsmile14: :trophy:

    Ken does a ok job , But he really needs to think about getting others speakers. Its the same ones year after year. Dont get me wrong all of this guys know softball very well. They have forgotten more than ill every know, This may be my last year going and beside's did you count the people in the room I'm sure he makes a ton off of this thing..............

    Who Else???

    I am curious to know who Caveman would rather have as speakers instead of Candrea, Weekly, Johns, Whitlock, etc.? That's a pretty impressive list of resources!

    Money

    Not sure Ken makes a killing after paying for the speakers and their expense, as well as meeting rooms, refreshments, booklets and other items but who cares, it is a fund raiser for his team and why would he not expect to make a buck? At least he is offering a good product in return for the money U spend.

    Give him suggestions on whom U want to hear and I bet he will try to get them. Ken and his wife work hard and I know are open to your constructive criticism and suggested speaker roster. The Blues enjoyed the weekend and gained a great deal of knowledge and insite.:victoryg:

    Exactly and i might add, that it IS the best coaching clinic and hope to go again in the near future. Wonderful Fundraiser to boot.

    Thanks again to the Bailey's for ALL they do for the sport of Softball!

    Players Clinic as Well

    The Players Clinic was excellent with nearly 300 young ladies in attendance. Very well organized and delivered. Exceptional coaches and players leading the skill drills. The only disappoint by DD had was she didn't get to hit the ball. Drills only. HOWEVER! The weather was awesome for the first weekend in January. My DD got a photo with Candrea. What an awesome experience for a young player!!

    Thank you Bandits. We recommend the Players Clinic to other players.:hump:
