The Wichita Wind Surge will host Major League Baseball’s PLAY BALL baseball clinic this Friday. The PLAYBALL initiative, encourages participation in the sports of baseball and softball amongst all ages, with a special focus on youth.
The free clinic will be at Equity Bank Park this Friday, June 13th from 10AM-noon. Check in will start at 9:15am at the Maple Street entrance of the ballpark. The goal of the program is to spread the game of baseball and offer resources for kids who are underserved with a passion for the game.
Wind Surge players, coaches and front office staff will provide hands-on skill development during three different sessions in which participants received free instruction on hitting, fielding and base running.
PLAY BALL events will take place across 30 MLB teams, 120 MILB teams and seven different continents. Many Major League Baseball teams and Minor League Baseball clubs will be hosting events, clinics, and activities to celebrate the game this weekend.
Spots are limited and parents are encouraged to register their child in advance. Kids will receive goody bags, free lunch and autograph opportunities.
