2019 Event Information & Session Outlines 2019 Event Information & Session Outlines Event Partners www.BaseballCoachesClinic.com www.BaseballCoachesClinic.com January 2019 Dear Coach, Welcome to the 16th annual Mohegan Sun World Baseball Coaches’ Convention held in the Mohegan Sun's newest venue, the Expo Center! We are excited to have you here. Our mission is to provide you with the very best in coaching education; and again this year, we have secured the best clinicians and designed a curriculum that addresses all levels of play and a range of coaching areas. Here are a couple of convention notes for 2019: - New this year, with our move to the more spacious Expo Center, we've created a new learning area, our new Demo Infield located in the back of the Exhibitor Zone near the On Deck Sports Batting Cage. Make sure you take in one of our interactive demos in this space during the convention. - Again this year, we will offer you post-event access to video of our Thursday, Friday, and select Saturday (new this year) convention sessions (more than 30 sessions!), so that you can refresh your memory or watch sessions you may have missed. See the page in this handout for the special promo code, which will enable you to purchase all sessions at a greatly discounted rate. - To provide you with the latest event information, we offer an event app that features the convention schedule, a list of exhibitors, a digital version of the event handout and much more. Search Baseball Coaches Convention in the app stores. If you'd like to receive real-time event updates and news, please allow us to push event notifications to your device of choice. - We will offer a Talking Baseball Panel Discussion on Friday evening from 5:45PM - 7PM in Break-Out 1. Our panelists will discuss the game today, provide insights into what and who motivated them, and finish by taking questions from the audience. It should be a terrific final session of the day. Our convention is more than just three days of coaching instruction; it is a chance to bounce ideas off your fellow coaches and learn from each other. Our staff, exhibitors and guest speakers will be available to you throughout the convention. Please don’t hesitate to introduce yourself, ask a question or provide your own perspective on the game. We thank all of our excellent presenters, who have found the time to share their knowledge of and passion for America's game. A special thanks to our title sponsor, Mohegan Sun; and to all of our sponsors and exhibitors, whose support helps make this event possible. Enjoy the convention and if you have any thoughts on how to improve next year’s Mohegan Sun World Baseball Coaches’ Convention, please let us know. We wish you all the best with your upcoming season!

  • Stuck Inside A
    ! ! Stuck Inside! ! A baseball coach’s guide to KILLER indoor practices! ! ! ! by Coach Bob McCreary ! ! 1st Edition ! ! ! www.BaseballByTheYard.com Hello everyone and thanks so much for checking out my very first eBook! This eBook is a guide to running a better indoor workout. For some players and coaches out there, indoor workouts are few and far between. Year-long, mild temperatures are the norm for those people. I’m very jealous. Where I am at the moment (Pennsylvania), players are going indoors as the miserable winter months approach. Even though players and teams head indoors, practice can be productive even though space and time are limited. That’s what this eBook is hoping to help with. All the things in this eBook are things I had to deal with as a player and as a coach. Some I learned by watching and listening to other coaches and some I learned by trial and error. Hopefully what you see on these pages will help your teams and individual players get the most out of their indoor baseball workouts!! ! To all my readers and subscribers, thank you so much for taking time out of your busy days to check out the Baseball By The Yard website and blog posts! I hope you find this eBook worth your time.! ! Coach Bob McCreary! Could you send me some feedback ! on this eBook?! ! Questions, criticisms, testimonials, and all other types of feedback are welcomed and greatly appreciated. Please sent to …! !

  • Heroes and Rallies Baseball
    Heroes and Rallies Baseball Setup Pick two teams to go head to head, and fill out your lineups on the scoresheet. Each team receives 8 skill assignments to give to individual players. All of the skill assignments listed below must be used within your starting lineup for a total of 8. A player may possess two assignments if you wish. Rate your lineup by placing the appropriate notation beside a player’s name on the scoresheet. 1) star hitter (H) 2) star slugger (S) 3) star runner (R) 4) star fielder (F) 5) poor hitter (H-) 6) weak hitter (S-) 7) slow runner (R-) 8) poor fielder (F-) Once a player has a skill assignment, he cannot transfer it to another player. There is one additional skill assignment available for an ace pitcher (X). You may, however, choose not to start one. Make any pitcher a poor hitter as well (H-), so there will be two poor hitters if a pitcher is in the lineup. Game Play Roll the dice for each player who comes up to bat, reading the colored die first and the white die second. If a result occurs on the Batting chart which displays an image of a ballplayer, the inning is considered finished with no further scoring. Draw an X in the box on the scoresheet representing the current hitter’s at-bat. When his team next comes up to bat, the next player in the lineup will hit. If the color of a chart result corresponds to the color of the skill assignment of the player who is currently up to bat, the result changes to the one shown on the bottom of the Batting chart.

  • Countriesand Counting! Complete, Automated, Indoor, Outdoor Automatic | Stand Alone Batting Cages
    YE ENJO D AR S OU CT N U D D T O H R E P W O R L D COUNTRIES ! AND COUNTING! COMPLETE, AUTOMATED, INDOOR, OUTDOOR AUTOMATIC | STAND ALONE BATTING CAGES WHY ADD A BATTING CAGE? The origins of hitting a ball with a bat is uncertain, but traces of a game played with a ball and bat date back to ancient Egypt. The game of baseball has only been around for more than a century and is still going strong. Today, baseball is growing faster than ever and played around the world. The advent of an automatic feeding system, more reliable pitching machines and a proven radius design (much like regular ball diamond) cage make it simple to build and operate. ABC cages are the fi nest quality, lowest maintenance, easiest to service, most reliable and most profi table batting range system available. In 1978, the owners of ABC developed the fi rst automatic “retrieval/conveyor” system to lift and sort both baseballs and softballs from a sump area in the batting cage and to feed all machines within the batting range. This development revolutionized the industry. Combined with complete building plans developed by the manufacturer, designing and building batting cages became a much easier venture. Today, we are still leading the way with computer-controlled indoor and outdoor batting cages. Our easy-to- program system combined with solid-state electronics and robust mechanical parts make an easy-to-maintain system that can take the hits of heavy commercial use. BATTING CAGES AUTOMATED/AUTOMATIC AUTOMATION MADE EASY The center of automated batting cages starts with the conveyor/feeding system.
