Dear IHSA Executive Board: 

Coaches:

Disappointingly but not surprisingly, the IHSBCA is forced to cancel our in-person Coaches Clinic and Hall of Fame Banquet in January.  We are still committed to providing our membership an outstanding opportunity to learn from some of the best baseball minds in the country.  To that end, we will host a virtual clinic with a variety of topics, accessible on our web site. When you pay your dues ($35 for an individual, $100 for a staff), you will be given access to the clinic videos.  Registration and clinic details will follow in a later email.
