Cotuit Kettleers Youth Baseball Clinic Week 1 (Cotuit)

Registration Closed

Description

The Cotuit Kettleers Summer Baseball Clinics offer a balanced program of fun and instruction in the game of baseball. It is a co-ed program for children ages 6 -12 who want to improve their baseball or softball skills. Players are grouped according to age and ability. Instruction includes proper techniques for stretching and warm-up, throwing, fielding, base running, and hitting. Team spirit and sportsmanship.

 

Your child will be instructed by members of this year’s Cotuit Kettleers, coaches and players from leading NCAA baseball programs across the country. These individuals have been selected as Clinic leaders based on their formal training and practical experience in youth sports coaching, their dedication to youth baseball and their personal accomplishments in the game.

 

Group instruction at skill stations will be given each day. At times, different games and activities designed to keep participants interest will be incorporated into the clinic schedule. A scrimmage baseball game generally concludes the day’s activities.

 

Equipment & Supplies

Each child should bring a light snack and beverage (water is best).  All Children should bring their baseball gear (Bats, Gloves, and catcher gear) and be dressed in baseball pants and cleats. All belongings should be clearly marked with the child’s name. The coaches will take any forgotten items to Lowell Park for safekeeping. You may pick up any lost items at the next clinic or at the next home game.

 

Fabulous Friday

All children from both clinic LOCATIONS (Cotuit and Centerville) meet at Lowell Park for clinic Fridays to practice skills on the Kettleers field. Halfway through the day the campers will slip-n-slide with the players and coaches. Siblings are invited to slide. (Please pack a towel.) At the end of the Friday session, children are given a complimentary t-shirt. All children should be picked up at Lowell Park at 11:30 AM promptly.

 

Sportsmanship

The most important lessons to be learned in the Kettleers clinics are sportsmanship and respect for fellow athletes. We believe in creating an atmosphere of encouragement and respect on the field. Any child who does not adhere to our standards regarding behavior and language may be asked to leave the clinic.
