Coach Kelly talks about last Friday's pitchers' clinic!

"Wow! What a turn out Friday night! We easily had 7-10 young pitchers each session! It was fantastic!

"With the first group, I didn't get a chance to recap the drills we practiced, however, for those in attendance, a great way to start every time your young pitchers practice is with those drills! Coaches and parents may not remember every detail about them but that's okay. Just do the best you can with what you have!

"As for the second group...great talent! Each young pitcher had a different aspect of the pitch to practice and develop. I would suggest making that individual element the focus of the week for your pitcher.

"Special thanks to all my adult catchers who helped their young pitchers work to be successful. It really helps to have you out there and involved with what is happening. (And hopefully in the process, coaches and parents can learn too!)

"I hope to see all of you again next Friday evening. Thanks for coming!"

We will hold our pitchers' clinic next Friday, April 16th at Pacific Union School: 5:00-6:00 for the 10 & Under pitchers; 6:00-7:00 for the 12 and 16 & Under pitchers.

There will be no players' clinic on Saturday since our Season Opening Jamboree is finally here!
