CARY, N.C. – USA Baseball announced today it will host Regional Clinics in four cities across the United States this fall as part of its ongoing Coaches Clinic program. USA Baseball Regional Clinics are two-day immersive events hosted in professional baseball facilities that provide coaches of all levels unprecedented levels of instruction from former Major League Baseball (MLB) players, coaches from MLB and Minor League Baseball, USA Baseball national team alumni, national team coaches, and highly decorated coaches from the college and high school ranks.

The 2022 events will be hosted at Wintrust Field in Schaumburg, Illinois, from October 8–9, at Trenton Thunder Ballpark in Trenton, New Jersey, from October 15–16, at Constellation Field in Sugar Land, Texas, from October 29–30, and a clinic presented in partnership with MLB and the Arizona Fall League at Spring Training facilities in Mesa, Arizona from November 5–6.

“We are thrilled to bring together an extremely decorated and diverse group of presenters at first-rate professional baseball facilities for our Regional Clinics this fall,” said Andrew Bartman, USA Baseball’s Director of Coaching Development and 2020 Coach Educator of the Year. “By giving coaches access to an exceptional group of instructors through lecture-style and on-field demonstrations and instruction, in addition to providing meals and USA Baseball gear to all attendees, the overall value of these events make the Regional Clinic a truly unique experience. We could not be more eager to hit the road to gather with fellow coaches to help them learn and grow together.”

“We are very excited to partner with USA Baseball on this endeavor as it adds another level of community engagement to a wonderful weekend of baseball in the Arizona Fall League,” said Arizona Fall League Director Chuck Fox.

Regional Clinics provide over 10 hours of instruction to its attendees 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. 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 the ability of coaches to better serve their athletes, their teams, and their communities. The curriculum includes educational resources that cover important topics such as health and safety, creating a positive environment, recognizing and responding to misconduct, practice planning, game management, and skill-specific development.
