The American Baseball Coaches Association announced today its continued partnership with Diamond Pro as an ABCA Single Partner. Diamond Pro is a complete line of professional groundskeeping products that satisfy a wide variety of groundskeeping needs.
“We're excited to grow our partnership with Diamond Pro,” said ABCA Executive Director Craig Keilitz. “Diamond Pro is a leader in the groundskeeping industry. The resources they are going to provide in assisting with field care and upkeep is going to be extremely beneficial to our coaches that spend countless hours preparing their playing surfaces for practices and competition."
In addition to an expanded year-round presence throughout the ABCA, Diamond Pro will be providing ABCA member coaches with resources on improving field conditions and field maintenance upkeep. Coaches will be able to take part in a live field maintenance webinar with Diamond Pro professionals. Diamond Pro will also be hosting a one-hour field maintenance clinic following one of the 2021 ABCA Barnstormers Clinics. Coaches looking for more information on field maintenance can also visit the "Resources" tab on
www.diamondpro.com for several groundskeeping tips including
mound &
batter's box renovations,
drag patterns,
infield conditioning tips and more.
"We are excited to continue our long-standing partnership with the ABCA,” said Rene Asprion, General Manager of Diamond Pro. “The ABCA stands for everything we at Diamond Pro strive for which is to help coaches in their pursuit to grow the game of baseball."
Diamond Pro was founded in 1992 after the use of expanded shale and clay was pioneered as an infield conditioner on a single ball field in Texas in 1989. The result was immediate — a faster drying, smoother, safer, more consistent playing surface. Today, Diamond Pro is a complete line of professional groundskeeping products that satisfy a wide variety of groundskeeping needs. With its superior products and outstanding customer service, Diamond Pro is currently recommended by many professional sports turf managers, parks and recreation directors, and coaches nationwide.
