Clinics 2008
All skills clinics
Double Diamond Sports Academy is going to offer various clinics designed specifically for LGSA. Don’t miss this opportunity for your young player to receive instruction from Double Diamond’s professional staff of instructors along with some of the top high school players in the area. The clinics will include instruction in the proper fundamentals of hitting and the proper fundamentals of throwing and receiving will be covered, as this is where a lot of injuries arise in the young arm. The proper techniques and footwork to be successful in fielding will also be introduced.

Emphasizing quality instruction, these clinics will be limited to the first 24 paid students.
