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.
