ABCA concludes 12-episode #ABCAatHome Virtual Coaching Clinic Series

Presented by Pocket Radar

Virtual Clinics SeriesThe American Baseball Coaches Association concluded its 12th and final #ABCAatHOME Virtual Coaching Clinic on July 14. The live clinic series, which was presented by Pocket Radar, kicked off in April and was open to everyone with no registration necessary. Each episode featured a panel of coaches discussing that week's topic and answering questions submitted by ABCA members.

"We are all experiencing an unprecedented time together right now," said ABCA Executive Director Craig Keilitz when the virtual clinics were announced in April. "I have been impressed by our coaches and their commitment to continual learning during this time away from their players and fields. We hope that these clinics serve as just another resource for coaches to come together as a community and learn from one another."

Each of the 12 live clinics were recorded and are now archived in the ABCA Coaching Resource Library for on-demand viewing. The ABCA Resource Library can be accessed on mobile devices via the My ABCA app or online at www.ABCA.org/resources.
