Baseball players ages 6 through 18 are invited to sharpen their hitting, fielding, and pitching skills at Allan Hancock College’s annual Holiday Baseball Clinic, to be held from Dec. 21 to 23.
Players will take lessons from the entire Allan Hancock College coaching staff, along with former major league pitcher Bryn Smith; Santa Maria Valley Packers’ head coach Scott Nickason; and Tom Beyers, currently a minor league manager in the Chicago Cubs organization. Former Major League Baseball All-Star Robin Ventura will also make a guest appearance.
The clinic will run from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. all three days. The cost is $100, and $75 for each additional family member. Registration forms can be picked up at Play it Again Sports in Santa Maria and at the Allan Hancock College Athletic Department at 800 S. College Drive.
