Thank you for your interest in being part of this year’s baseball coaching learning series. We are excited to bring coaches together in a collaborative setting where ideas, drills, strategies, and experiences can be shared openly. These clinics are designed to strengthen our coaching community, build confidence, and reinforce a passion for developing young athletes.
Our sessions will be led by members of the COMBA board, including the new Coach and Player Development Committee, along with invited guest presenters. Each clinic will feature practical handouts, time for questions, and hands-on or on-field learning opportunities. Together, we can continue raising the standard of coaching in our community and help inspire the next generation of baseball players.
Thank you!
~ Jon Przybyl, Craig White & Graham Johnson
