Current clinic opportunities for the 2021 -2022 season are listed below. We look forward to getting back out onto the fields in 2022!!
The clinic will be hosted by Derick Snell, Founder and Owner of Living the Dream Sports and former St. Cloud State University Coach. Derick will be assisted by other guest collegiate level coaches as well as STMA coach volunteers.
Jim Benson's pitching clinic will be 6 sessions of an hour and a half each. During these sessions Jim will focus on stretching, warm up progression, fundamental throwing mechanics (balance, stride, finish), and the introduction of an off-speed pitch. We will break the baseball pitchers into 8-11 year-olds (max of 24 pitchers) and 12-14 year-olds (max of 24 pitchers). Additionally, in the older age group Jim will focus in the area of holding runners on base.
The catching fundamentals clinic will work on basic and advanced techniques. We will focus on receiving, blocking, and throwing drills specifically designed for catchers. This clinic will be hosted by STMA coaches with the help of Kaden Amundson (class of 2022 - Division 1 Baseball Signee) & other high school catchers.
Fielding fundamentals will cover a variety of infield and outfield drills to get your player ready for the season. The clinic will be hosted by STMA Travel Coaches and be offered on Sunday January 9th.
The Pre-Tryout clinic will run players through the tryout stations to help get them acclimated and comfortable to the layout and process of tryouts. This clinic will be held on February 20th.
