During the clinic, players will rotate through drills that will cover all skills including: hitting, throwing, fielding, pitching, and base running. Coaches and parents are invited to come on to the field during the clinic to observe different drills and ask instructors questions to enhance understanding. Each participant will receive a Blue Jays hat, T-shirt and baseball manual.
