The American Baseball Coaches Association announced the release of over 20 brand-new Barnstormers Regional Clinic on-demand videos to the ABCA Video Library this month! The new content features member coaches from the collegiate, high school and travel baseball divisions from programs all across the state of Texas.
Barnstormers Regional Coaching Clinics are one-day events for baseball coaches that feature presentations from ABCA member coaches within that region and are presented by Blast Motion. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 Barnstormers Clinics were closed to the public, however, presentations were recorded for all current ABCA members!
The Barnstormers Regional Clinics are free for ABCA members to attend when held in-person. Typically, the events are hosted by ABCA member coaches and feature a variety of presentations varying from video instruction to on-field demonstrations to live drill or practice commentary. The clinics cover a wide array of topics, including hitting, pitching, arm care, catching, practice efficiency and planning, base running and defensive play, and focus on fundamentals, position-specific drills, coaching cues, and practice organization tips.
The videos being released this month are in addition to the Barnstormers Clinic videos that were released in November! With the addition of this month's videos, nearly 50 Barnstormers Clinics from 2020 can be watched on-demand in the ABCA Video Library. In addition to the Barnstormers Clinics in the Video Library, ABCA members also have access to all ABCA Convention clinics from 2008-2020 as part of their membership. Members that took part in the 2021 ABCA Convention also have access to this year's clinic videos on-demand while members that did not attend the convention will be able to access the over 50 clinics from the 2021 ABCA Convention beginning Monday, May 24!
The ABCA Video Library is the most comprehensive baseball coaching video library available with over 500 on-demand clinics covering a variety of coaching topics. New content is frequently added and ABCA members have access to the entire library as part of their membership!
