Erie Community College and head baseball coach Joe Bauth will run their annual baseball clinics at Erie Community College, North Campus, 6205 Main Street, Williamsville.

A baseball hitting clinic will be held from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 25. Players will be placed in groups based on age and skill level to improve their hitting skill through demonstration, instruction and participation in hitting drills designed to improve hitting skills of any skill level.

The fee is $40 (group rate - five or more - $30 each).

A baseball miniclinic will be held from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday, March 11. A lunch break from noon to 1 p.m. is not included.

The minicamp is designed to improve players' skills in all phases of the game. The morning session will be set up for players to participate in all drills designed to improve hitting mechanics and technique. The afternoon session will involve the players in the four defensive positions and will include fundamentals in throwing mechanics, infield play, outfield play and catching.

The cost is $50 (group rate - five or more, $40 each).

In both sessions, players will be placed in groups based on age and skill level.

Players will learn the fundamentals of the game and see skill development through many different drills designed to develop skill and hand-eye coordination.
