26th Annual Amherst College Baseball 2017
Winter Instructional Clinic
Dear Coaches,
We hope that you enjoyed
the excitement of the MLB season and that you and your teams had successful
seasons. This email is in regard to the 2017 Amherst College Baseball Winter
Instructional Clinic. For the seventh straight year we have been able to keep
the clinic fee constant to encourage attendance. Some of your players
participated in last year’s winter clinic and we hope that you will forward
this information to your team so that you have more participation this year.
The purpose of the
instructional clinic is to provide an environment where participants develop
their baseball skills while having fun. Players will participate in small
groups and will be given individual attention and instruction by college
coaches and college players.
The clinic will take place in Calvin Coolidge Cage at Amherst College. There
will be sessions for two age groups. With the younger group (ages 9-13), we
concentrate on basic techniques to help participants develop proper mechanics
and to build their confidence. There will be competitive and fun games for the
participants to use what they have learned and to challenge their skills.
With the older group (14-16), we concentrate on individual techniques and
skills they will need to master in order to compete at the college level. We
will teach techniques and drills that participants can practice at home or in
small groups, as well as use in game situations.
