    PAA Clinics Overview

    Players will be matched with a coach to emphasize proper instruction of fundamentals in a small 4-player per coach setting. 

    Pitching, batting, catching, in-fielding techniques, outfield techniques, as well as situational work will be taught to those individuals. 

    Drills will be utilized weekly to emphasize proper fundamentals. 

    Players will rotate on a weekly basis, giving each player the best possible amount of time to be instructed by each coach. 
    Players will also use a notebook to collect information about proper techniques and drills in order to continue to improve. 

    The goal of the coaches is to provide a solid foundation for all players to be successful in the future at many different positions and levels.

    All age groups welcome except sophomores, juniors & seniors in high school.

    Please welcome these instructors into our program:

    Ted Gardiner - Poolesville High School Varsity Head Coach
    Steve Orsini - Poolesville High School Junior Varsity Head Coach
    Terry Young - Poolesville High School Junior Varsity Assistant Coach
