• Since 1978, USA Baseball has been the national governing body for amateur baseball. It represents the sport in the United States as a member of the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC) and internationally as a member federation of the World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC). Nearly every major national amateur baseball organization in America is united as a USA Baseball national member organization. As a result, USA Baseball governs more than 15.6 million amateur players in ballparks and playgrounds across the country. As the commissioner's office for amateur baseball, USA Baseball is a resource center for its various membership groups, fans and players. USA Baseball is also responsible for promoting and developing the game of baseball on the grassroots level, both nationally and internationally.

The Coaches Clinics program provides in-person training and educational sessions coupled with networking and professional growth opportunities. By encouraging coaches to build relationships with one another and give back to the game, the program aims to unify the coaching community in order to make the sport stronger at all levels. 

USA Baseball Coaches Clinics offer both half-day and two-day options:

• Regional Clinics are two-day immersion events hosted in Major League cities and coordinated in conjunction with Major League Baseball clubs. Day one is spent with clinic speakers in a lecture style format; while day two is on the field, typically in a big league stadium, applying the content speakers referenced the day before. Regional Clinic registration also includes a USA Baseball gift bag, dinner and social with presenters the first night, and lunch the second day.  Attendance can be confirmed with USA Baseball post-event, if your district deems the content satisfactory for continuing education credits. 
• Community Clinics are three hours in length and designed to provide entry level content and drills to coaches from all levels, while satisfying the clinic component of coaches certification. Clinic host and presenters vary from minor league stadiums to college campuses and youth leagues. USA Baseball Community Clinics are free to attend.
