The Warriors are very fortunate to participate in two baseball clinics customized specifically for our team! Both of these clinics will be held at Junior Diggins. CLICK HERE to access the Junior Diggins website.
On Saturday, April 25th, the team will attend a hitting clinic. This clinic will start at 7:00 pm and end at approximately 9:00 pm. Players should arrive at the facility no later than 6:50 pm as the session will start at 7:00 pm sharp.
On Saturday, May 2nd, players who are interested in pitching will attend a pitching clinic. This clinic will start at 4:00 pm and will go for 90 minutes.
I realize that everyone's schedules are hectic this time of year. But, it is important that these clinics take place early enough in the year for our players to get the most benefit from them.
I've invited Al Hasan, a former minor league professional baseball player, to be our instructor for both clinics. Mr. Hasan pitched and played third base at a professional level. We also plan to have a college baseball player on hand to help out. These clinic dates are subject to change if Mr. Hasan needs to reschedule due to business travel requirements.
Mr. Hasan is uniquely qualified to run these clinics. I watched him work with one of our OYA recreational players for over an hour the other night. Having observed countless hitting lessons and seminars, I was very impressed with his knowledge as well as his ability to communicate the concepts.
I was also impressed with Mr. Hasan's message of emphasis on the importance of education. Although he played baseball at a very high level, he continued to focus on his education and ultimately earned his PhD.
