Presentational Lakes Instructional Clinics visual

Lakes Instructional Clinics - Annual 2025

Lakes Instructional Clinic Series

Lakes will occasionally offer fundamental clinics for players on weekends between our scheduled house seasons, school holidays and over school breaks. Each of these clinics may have a different format. Many of them will be run by our passionate Lakes volunteer coaches. Clinics are great for both players starting out their baseball journey or for more experienced players looking for reps in a structured environment. 

Pop-Up Clinics are outdoor clinics held at Hickory Glen Park or Janowski Field. These clinics will cover infield instruction, baserunning, extensive tee work and other fundamental drills and will also include simulated game reps or scrimmages (depending on the number of kids who are signed up). These will often be scheduled last minute when we know the weather will be nice for being outdoors. 

Upcoming Clinics

November Instructional Clinic Series @ On The Dunes 
Held Saturday evenings 6:30-8 PM at On the Dunes on Haggerty Road in Commerce, this clinic series will cover specific fundamentals weekly during a 90-minute station based format. Open to 8U to 12U level players, kids will be grouped with other players at their experience level or playing level. Each clinic will have a main focus on the fundamentals listed but will include other instruction too including dynamic warmups, classroom style situational instruction, batting, and more. These will be led by Lakes volunteer coaches. All registrations will include a t-shirt. 

Sat, November 1st - Hitting/Hitting Mechanics
