Q- How do other associations not charge for clinics?
Other associations can do things slightly deferent depending on their association policy. Associations can build the clinic cost into higher registration fees or rep fees. Other Associations bill the teams individually for the clinics that their players attend and then it comes out of the teams fundraising budget.
RMMSA offers 6 x 1.5 hours (9-hours) of coach’s development technical training for all Rep teams at no additional cost to teams. This needs to be organized through your head coach, the individual instructor & clinic coordinator. During those times our association instructors will work with the coaching staff on technical & tactical areas of the coach’s choice.
For House players we offer free pre-season pitching and coaching clinics. We are in the process of re-evaluating these offerings to house teams to provide additional support. -Additional details to follow in the new year.

"RMMSA has the best clinics! I was struggling with my batting until I met Kelly. He made all seem so simple. Now I hit like I'm in the big leagues. Thanks to the clinicians at RMMSA."
