I appreciate your comments, and totally agree. Aside from having a lot to say, he is a very good speaker.
It is my sincere hope everyone in the area comes and takes advantage of his knowledge. Therefore I am limiting the number of Pitchers per two hour session.
The 7:30-9:30 Friday night, Clinic is for the families eliminate the need for a hotel for the families out of state. I will consider in state players in certain circumstances.
I prefer the in state players attend one of the clinics on Satuday.
Thank you, Al McCormick alm@mostvaluableplayer.biz (410) 721-4203

1. You do not need to attend the Seminar to participate in one of the two (2) hour clinics.
2. I will organize players from the same school or summer team which should make easier to video tape for future reference or to take back to the coach.
Thank you for the opportunity, Al McCormick alm@mostvaluableplayer.biz (410) 721-4203
