Frequently Asked Questions

We extend a warm welcome to players of all skill levels and playing experience, ages 13 and up.

All you need is love of the game and a sincere desire to improve your baseball skills and gain a better working knowledge of baseball. Whether you now play in a league, coach youth baseball, want to get back into playing or just love the game, the Pro Ball Baseball Clinic is the place for you! Over 4 days, you will receive one-on-one instruction from some of today’s best Major League Coaches. It's a baseball experience unlike any other.

Many of our attendees compete in adult baseball leagues throughout the country (MSBL, NABA, Roy Hobbs, Ponce de Leon, etc.). There is a wide range of playing abilities and ages. Some guys haven't played baseball since little league or high school, but want to join an adult league and are looking to brush up on their fundamentals. Other attendees played college baseball way back when. Every year we get a few parents and youth coaches who attend to absorb and pass on as much baseball knowledge as possible.  We even have a few high school and college baseball coaches who want to better their communication skills and gain more insight into the finer aspects of the game.

The next clinic is scheduled for November 5-8, 2024 at the Kino Sports Complex in Tucson, AZ.  It will be our 23rd year in business and and our 1st  year at Kino. 

Over the years, we have grown steadily, mostly by word of mouth. We do very little traditional advertising. We get an enormous amount of repeat players every year.  Pro Ball has become much more than just 4 days of great baseball instruction. It's become a reunion of camaraderie, friendship and love of the game.

Over the past several years, attendees have started bringing their sons to the Pro Ball Baseball Clinic. Spending 4 days on the diamond with your son, while being taught by Major League coaches, is an amazing life experience. If you are a dad or a teenage player, please view the father-son video on the home page. We’d love to have you join us.

The bottom line is, there is no need to worry about “not being good enough” to join us at the Pro Ball Baseball Clinic. Everyone is welcome. Don't be intimidated by the Major League coaching staff. You will be amazed at the patience of the coaches and their sincere desire to make you a better player.  These gentlemen are some of the nicest, most dedicated and passionate guys you will ever meet. THESE GUYS LOVE TO TEACH BASEBALL! You have to experience the clinic for yourself to know what I am talking about.

                                        We sell out every year and 2024 will be no exception.

Our clinics are fashioned after actual Major League spring training routines, with rotating hitting stations, tee work, numerous hitting drills, live BP, situational BP and machine BP. You will probably take more swings in your 4 days at the Pro Ball Baseball Clinic than you have in the past 4 years!

On defense, the coaches focus on individual and team defense drills.  Pitchers will work one-on-one with Major League pitching coaches to improve mechanics, command, pitch grips and fielding (PFP). Catchers will do blocking, framing and agility drills, with our catching Instructors. 

Under the guidance of our Major League coaching staff, you will leave the Pro Ball Baseball Clinic a better, more confident and more knowledgeable player.

The Pro Ball Baseball Clinic is NOT a fantasy camp. We are a VERY different baseball experience from the typical fantasy camp. The main purpose of Pro Ball is to improve your baseball skills. Major League coaches teach you how earn to play the game the right way.

We do not provide uniforms. It is suggested that you bring two pairs of baseball pants, a jock and cup, a couple of baseball undershirts, at least one baseball shirt and a pair of spikes. In addition, bring sneakers or turf shoes for hitting in the indoor cages. No metal spikes in the indoor hitting cages.

All your baseball-related laundry will be done on a daily basis. Bring as many gloves as you would like, depending on what positions you want to work on. Catchers should bring their own catching gear.

Bring your own bats and your own batting helmet if you have one. Kino does NOT provide batting helmets. The great majority of players swing wood, but metal is fine.

Due to the extraordinary nature of this clinic, the commitments made to the Major League Coaches, the City of Tucson and the hotel,  YOUR INITIAL $1000 DEPOSIT IS NON-REFUNDABLE. There are no exceptions.

Cancellations must be received in writing (certified mail is strongly advised).

If you are concerned about being unable to attend for any reason, it is strongly suggested you look into buying travel insurance. It is not known if travel insurance is available for this unique baseball event.

Absolutely not. In fact, we encourage you to try different positions and expand your knowledge of the game. You will get to play all the positions you want. At the clinic, you can experience playing every position on the diamond. Maybe you've never caught or pitched before. Here's your chance to learn from Major League coaches. 

Please select your favorite 2 positions on the registration form. That will help us organize our Day 1 defensive rotations.
