IHSBCA Virtual Clinic Announcement (11/29):

We are very happy to announce our 2021 IHSBCA Virtual Clinic.  This year's clinic will be on Friday, January 29th and Saturday, January 30th.  The times will be as follows:  Friday 1/29 - speakers are scheduled at 4:00 pm, 5:00 pm, 6:00 pm, 7:00 pm, 8:00 pm and 9:00 pm.  The 8 pm and 9 pm sessions will include our high school coaches mini-sessions.  On Saturday 1/30 - we will begin with an FCA round table session at 7:45 am, then have a speaker every hour starting at 9:00 am until our last session at 5:00 pm.  Our final 5:00 pm session will be a Q and A session with a panel of MLB hitting coaches.  We will add a schedule with speaker times by January 1st, once we confirm speaking times with everyone.

The clinic registration form is included on the website, (see form above this message).  We have included this year a clinic registration fee scale for teams with multiple coaches on their coaching staff.  The most important part of the registration will be including each coaches email, which we need towards sending you back an email 10 days before the clinic with the clinic log-in information you will need to watch both days of the virtual clinic.
