Its that time of year again, and we are excited at CLL for the start of the new season. We are working hard to put together another successful year for all of our players, starting from pre-season evaluations all the way through the post season experience. We feel that developing our players as well as our coaches is essential in allowing our league to continue to raise the bar in Little League Baseball. This is why Coquitlam has registered with the Al Herback clinic: Teaching for Tomorrow, and is inviting any and all coaches from Blastball through the Major division to attend free of charge!

The Teaching for Tomorrow Program (fka the Al & Al clinic) is focused on the coaching and development of players between the ages of 5 and 12. You will learn how to structure a practice, what drills are appropriate for what skills, how to keep things fun and exciting for the young ones, and how work with parents to ensure everyone has a blast at the ballpark. Al Herback also offers strategies to use baseball as an effective teaching tool to help develop our youth into positive, contributing citizens.

The clinic this year is broken down into 2 groups: coaching ages 4-6 in Learning the Game is on March 23, and coaching ages 7-12 in Playing the Game is on March 24. You as a CLL coach are invited to attend 1 or both sessions free of charge. Thats right, we are picking up the $300 bill so come out to learn something new.

Both sessions will be held at Vancouver College - Alumni Gymnasium, 5400 Cartier Street, Vancouver from 6-10pm. For more information click here to view the program flyer.
