MACOMB, Ill. - The deadline for registering for Western Illinois University’s final “Rookie-MVP” Baseball Clinic in January is quickly approaching.

Several spots remain open in the last clinic of the season but players are encouraged to sign up by Friday. The clinic is slated for Sunday, Jan. 27, and will be held in Western Hall from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Limited space is available.

The individualized introductory-to-advanced level instruction is open to players six years or older. Players will be taught pitching, hitting, defense, base running, bunting, nutrition, weight training, conditioning, and teamwork. Players who attend both clinics will receive advanced, specialized instruction and drills during their second clinic.

Cost for the clinic is $75 if paid in advance. On site registration is $85 the day of the clinic.

“We had a great turnout for the first clinic and already have more players signed up for the next one,” said head coach Stan Hyman. “We never want to turn anyone away so we encourage players to sign up soon.”
