Youth League Clinic below…

Free Youth League Coaches Clinics are available upon request, and as long a grant money is still in the ALABCA Youth Coaches Clinic Account. Contact Barry Dean at (334)676-0434 to require about having a coaches clinic in your town. Clinics last a minimum 3 hours and must have 25 coaches there from start to finish.

The ALABCA acquired a grant in the fall of 2012 to hold these clinics. The free clinics below were a result of leagues taking the ALABCA on their offer. Three clinics were held in 2014 and two in 2015. We still enjoy doing the clinics, we just haven’t approached any leagues about doing them recently.

Numerous other Youth League Officials and Parks & Recreation Directors were contacted about us holding our coaches clinic in their town. They had either already planned a clinic for their area and said they wanted us to hold one there next year, or didn’t feel they could make in mandatory and get enough coaches there for it to be worth our while to come there. Unfortunately some folks didn’t return our calls. We’ll try the towns again this winter, where we didn’t hold a clinic this spring, to set up a coaches clinic for next spring.
