Winter Clinics 2023

Program

We are pleased to announce that  Winter Clinics are returning bigger and better than ever for the 2023 season. Having outgrown our original facility, Winter Clinics are moving to the gym at École Secondaire des Sources starting on January 21st. They will run every Saturday for the usual 12 weeks. We have recruited some of Dollard Baseball’s best pitchers, hitters, catchers and fielders to run the program this year, and pass along their knowledge. The cost is $175 for DDO Residents, with an additional $25 for non-Dollard Residents. (Priority will be given to the Dollard registrants.)

Anyone registering for the 11U or 13U groups can participate in weekly pitching clinics at no additional cost and, new for this year, we are emphasizing improving development at the catcher position throughout our association, so catchers are also welcome to stay for weekly catching clinics.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Registration is capped at 20 players at each level on a first come, first served basis. If you want to ensure your child can participate we encourage you to register right away.
