Absolutely not. All you need is a sincere love of the game and a
desire to learn how to play better baseball from some of the best teachers
in the game today. However, many of the participants will probably be
playing in either the MSBL (Men's Senior Baseball League) or NABA (National
Adult Baseball Association), so some will be in pretty good baseball shape.
If you haven't played baseball in a while (and I do NOT mean softball),
I strongly suggest you begin throwing every day to get your arm and shoulder
in shape. Play catch with someone or just throw a rubber baseball against
a wall. I cannot overemphasize the importance of just throwing a baseball.
Also, start a daily regimen of lower extremity stretching, including the
adductors (groin). The last thing you'll want to do is throw out your
arm or pull a hamstring or groin on the first (or any) day of the clinic.
The cost for the 4 day instructional clinic is $2795 (double occupancy, including
hotel and all meals). If you want a single room, it's an additional $450 (Radisson
group rate). You
may secure your spot with a $500 deposit made out to Voice Doctor, Inc. Your
remaining fee must be paid by 9-25-07. After 9-25-07, hotel accommodations
and group rates are not guaranteed. If rooms are available, they will be priced
at Radisson's regular seasonal rate. Payment
may be made by personal check, cashier's check or money order. If your check
is returned for any reason, you will be charged an additional $50 fee, and
you will then will be required to pay via cashier's check or money order.
If you get in your deposit before 7-31-07, you will receive a $300 "early
bird" discount (this applies only to first-time Pro Ball participants & only
at the FL location)
For every new player you refer who becomes a fully paid participant,
you will receive a $200 credit.... so bring a friend! The special referral
fee offered to all attendees at the January 2007 clinic will apply to
both the FL and AZ clinics. You may use that discount for yourself or
split it with the person you referred. Make sure your name is mentioned
as the referral source when that person registers on-line.
Anyone who attends both the FL and AZ clinics will get an additional
$500 discount. This discount will be applied to your AZ clinic fee.
We will do everything we can to see to it that you play the position of your choice. You may play other positions at camp if you choose. Fill in your favorite two positions in the registration form.
We will be staying at the Radisson Hotel and Conference Center
in St. Petersburgh, (727) 572-7800. The Pro Ball Baseball Clinic fee
includes hotel accommodations, based on double occupancy. An additional
fee of $450 will be charged if a single room is requested and reserved.
There is no guarantee that single rooms will be available. Single rooms
will be reserved on a first come, first serve basis.
A very limited number of smoking rooms are available. If you desire
a smoking room, we will reserve one for you on a first come, first serve
basis. There are no guarantees you will get a smoking room.
If you want to room with a specific player, let us know in the registration form and all efforts will be made to see that your request is met. Make sure you guys talk about rooming together before completing the form to avoid any confusion.
It is suggested that you bring two pair of baseball pants, a cup,
a couple of baseball undershirts, at least one baseball shirt and a
pair of spikes. The more equipment you have, the better. Devil Rays’ clubhouse
attendants will do all your baseball-related laundry.
Of course, bring as many gloves you like, depending on what positions
you want to work on. We strongly suggest you bring your own bats (metal
or wood) and helmets. We will have some bats and helmets as well. All
baseballs are provided.
