I ran across this and thought it may be of interest to Coaches and Parents. They have some excellent speakers lined up for this. The cost is pretty reasonable too at $50.00. You can email Dave or Amie and they can send you the clinic information as an attachment.

Dave and Amie did a great job organizing and running this cinic. If they have more in the future they should be marked down as a "must do" for anyone wanting information that can be used to help their pitchers. [Also, there were lots of good ideas about coaching philosophy in general.]
