Let's have a great turnout for this great event. This event is for all coaches; HS, Middle School, Amateur, etc. as well as anyone (parents included) that support High School baseball.

This will be a wonderful time to learn, ask questions, compare notes and honor some special people. For those coaches that want to share experiences, workout routines, pitching and hitting drills, how to conduct an effective practice or just to share ideas to make the association stronger...this is the place to be.

This will give Coach Pope a chance to rub elbows with umpires :imagestor

But seriously, I think it is a great time for all coaches to come together and get a chance to meet and get to know each other. To interact and develop relationships with the college coaches in attendance can go a long way in helping your players move on to the next level.

 

Sounds like a great group of coaches assembled!!

 

i am definately going to do my best to be there. good clinicians and people, great fun
by the way.... thanks braves and remember. what don't kill ya makes you stronger :banginghe

 

Can players attend? (Saturday only). If so, what is the cost?

MTH

 

The cost is for the weekend. I don't believe they have a one day price. As far as players attending, I really don't know, but I know the clinics are designed for coaches, so I'm not sure where the interest would apply to a player...plus, there may be a NCAA infraction with the college coaches attending. I don't know that to be the case, but I wouldn't be surprised.

 

The clinic in the past has been geared for coaches. I would definitely encourage any and all HS, legion, and youth coaches to attend. It would benefit all of us!!
