Rijo Athletics offers a clinic for baseball and softball coaches each year. This has become a must-attend event for coaches in the Pacific Northwest. José Rijo-Berger and his staff conduct the clinics, which include live demonstrations of drills and center on the following:

RIJO ATHLETICS 2012 COACHES CLINIC
Sunday, February 26 (4:00PM - 8:00PM)
Sunday, March 11 (4:00PM - 8:00PM)
Cost: $20

We also allow time for questions and idea-sharing. It’s a great opportunity to hear what really works for other coaches facing the same challenges.

Those who attend will have a chance to win two free hours of instruction, which can be used for a player on your team. Additionally, each coach will receive a voucher good for a free one-hour team evaluation. You’ll also have an opportunity to purchase the Rijo illustrated “Coaching Quick- Start Guide” and DVD.

(Due to high demand and over-capacity attendance, space is limited and the clinic fills up fast. Carpooling is highly recommended.)
