CINCINNATI – The University of Cincinnati baseball program is hosting a coaches clinic on Saturday, Dec. 12.

This one-day clinic is designed to elevate coaching at every level of the game. Attendees will learn directly from coaches and staff members of the Cincinnati baseball program, covering everything from culture building, pitching analytics, catching mechanics, base stealing, strength development, and individualized hitting routines.

The cost of attendance for the clinic will be $95 per person, with discounts available for whole coaching staffs. Please visit the registration link to sign up. The event will take place at UC Baseball Stadium with time also spent at Cincinnati’s new Cheetah Lab at the Richard E. Lindner Center.

The goal of the clinic is to provide all coaches in attendance with the knowledge and information to take their teams to the next level and improve their team’s approach at the plate, on the mound, on the bases, and in the field, and to give them and their programs a leg up on their preparation for next season.
