INTRODUCTION
The Blue Jays Baseball Academy host one day, four-hour Instructional Clinics throughout Ontario for beginner baseball players aged 8-12.
Players rotate through drills that cover skills including: infield, outfield, hitting, throwing, agility, and baserunning. Instructional Clinic registrants will also participate in a Baseball Athletic Training station which serves as an introduction to fundamental athletic movement.
Instructional Clinics are taught exclusively by Blue Jays Baseball Academy Instructors. Academy Instructors are NCCP registered, experienced coaches, who have been trained in the ＆Blue Jays Way＊ of teaching baseball to youth.
Participants receive a Blue Jays hat, t-shirt and digital baseball skills manual.
Instructional Clinics serve as a fundraising opportunity for the host baseball association or little league, as $1,000 is donated back to the host organization for hosting a clinic. If registration exceeds 100 participants, host associations receive an additional $500.
COST
The cost of a Blue Jays Baseball Academy Instructional Clinic is $69.99 ( + applicable taxes and fees).
