I hope everyone had a good summer and is happily back into their normal routines of work and school. As some of you have probably already heard, this year we're going to have 3 weeks of Fall Baseball starting Saturday Sep 29. The plan is to have 2 weeks of informal pick up games and 1 week of a clinic. I'm really excited about the clinic as we are going to have the good fortune of Jeremy Guthrie returning. Jeremy used to pitch for the Baltimore Orioles but now pitches for the Kansas City Royals. He will be here the afternoon of Friday the 12th of October. He's going to give an instructional clinic on pitching, fielding, and hitting, for the older kids (9 and up) followed by a talk on his baseball experience. Due to size constraints unfortunately we have to limit the clinic to the Senior and Junior Kids. However I would like to invite the Coach Pitch kids to watch and listen to Jeremy's talk following the clinic. There will be time to meet and chat with him, ask questions, get autographs, and take pictures.
Here is the schedule for the 3 weeks which will all take place at the ASM baseball field. We'll have pick up games the first 2 weeks. All you need to do is show up, bring your gloves, we'll make teams and play.
Saturday Sep 29
13:00 to 14:30 Coach Pitch.
14:30 to 16:00 Machine Pitch.
16:00 to 17:30 Senior Kid Pitch.
Saturday Oct 6
13:00 to 14:30 Coach Pitch.
14:30 to 16:00 Machine Pitch.
16:00 to 17:30 Senior Kid Pitch.
Friday Oct 12-
Friday is a national holiday. I hope everyone will be able to make it. We’ll follow a similar format to last year- He’ll give a short talk on what we’re going to focus on during the clinic, followed by work on the field focused on pitching, fielding, and some hitting, followed by a longer chat on his experiences over the past year, challenges that lie ahead for him, Q&A, pictures and autographs. Like last year to get the most of his time here we're going to limit it to around 50 kids who play at the Junior and Senior Kid levels. Start time will be 13:00. I hope I can count on you all to be there and help out. While things can always change at the last minute this looks like a pretty sure thing at this point.
Hope to see you all there....
Dear friends, our son is almost 10 years old and he is crazy about baseball after spending some weeks in a baseball summercamp in NYC. He would love to join a baseball team in Madrid and we are looking for information about this. Would it be posible for him to join those Fall Baseball games even if he is not attending the American School of Madrid? We would love for him to join a multicultural/american baseball team not just because of his passion for the game itself but also to have the opportunity to interact with kids and coachs with American culture and values. Thank you so much in advance for your help and best regards
ReplyDeleteYes please he is more than welcome. Is there a way I can contact you to pass you more information ?
