CARY, N.C. – USA Baseball announced today the four host sites for its 2024 Regional Coach Clinics this fall as part of its ongoing Coaches Clinic program. USA Baseball Regional Clinics, presented by Bat Around, are two-day immersive events hosted in professional baseball facilities that provide coaches of all levels instruction from former Major League Baseball (MLB) players, coaches from MLB and Minor League Baseball, USA Baseball national team alums, national team coaches, and highly decorated coaches from the college and high school ranks.
The 2024 events will be hosted at Funko Field in Everett, Washington, from September 28-29; at the USA Baseball National Training Complex in Cary, North Carolina, from November 2-3; at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick in Scottsdale, Arizona from November 9-10, presented in partnership with MLB and the Arizona Fall League; and at Dell Diamond in Round Rock, Texas, from December 7-8.
“We are thrilled to deliver a one-of-a-kind coaches education experience once again in four locations across the country this year through USA Baseball’s Regional Coach Clinics,” said Andrew Bartman, USA Baseball’s Director of Coaching Development and 2020 Coach Educator of the Year. “From the knowledgeable group of presenters to the state-of-the-art facilities, we look forward to providing exceptional training through lecture-style and on-field instruction from some of the best minds in the game.”
This year marks the first time in USA Baseball’s history that a Regional Clinic will be held at the National Training Complex. The National Training Complex is the international headquarters and houses the newly built executive offices for the organization.
“This is an exciting time for USA Baseball, as we will have the opportunity to host a Regional Coach Clinic for the first time in the history of our organization in 2024,” said USA Baseball Executive Director/CEO Paul Seiler. “We take pride in providing the latest knowledge and information to baseball coaches across all levels of the game, and we look forward to being able to do so right in our backyard at the National Training Complex.”
“The Arizona Fall League is pleased to partner with USA Baseball in supporting the education and development of coaches across all levels of our game,” said Arizona Fall League Director Chuck Fox.
Regional Clinics provide attendees with over 10 hours of instruction over two days. The first day will include guest instructors providing lecture-style and discussion-based training and a cocktail hour and dinner for the participants to network with the instructors and USA Baseball staff. The second day takes place on-field, demonstrating the concepts introduced on day one. Lunch will be provided for all participants and will offer another opportunity to meet and speak with the instructors and fellow coaches in attendance. In addition, all coaches who register will receive a gift bag of USA Baseball gear and an in-depth program manual to take home.
Furthermore, attending a Regional Clinic satisfies the clinic attendance requirement for level “C” of the free USA Baseball Coaches Certification Program. The program is three-tiered and consists of ascending levels "A" Certification, "B" Certification, and "C" Certification. The program aims to create a higher standard of coaching education to enhance coaches’ ability to serve their athletes, teams, and communities. The curriculum includes educational resources that cover essential topics such as health and safety, creating a positive environment, recognizing and responding to misconduct, practice planning, game management, and skill-specific development.
