Rijo Athletics offers a clinic for baseball and softball coaches each year. This has become a must-attend event for coaches in the Pacific Northwest. Due to high demand and over-capacity attendance, space is limited and the clinic fills up fast. Reservation is required. Carpooling is highly recommended.

José Rijo-Berger and his staff conduct the clinics, which include live demonstrations of drills, and center on the following:

The Coach’s Role

• Explain, describe, evaluate, encourage, correct and review.

• Teach skills while instilling a lifelong love of the game.

• Set the stage for success with your organization and attitude.

• Utilize your assistant coaches and parent volunteers effectively.

• Promote teamwork at every opportunity.

• Develop a free flow of information to and from the players.

• Partner with your players to establish a good workplace.

Effective Drills
