Gurwell and others are offering the clinic free of charge to any youngsters ages 8-18, with instruction ranging from the fundamental basics to more advanced training practices.

The clinics will run from 1 to 3 p.m. each Sunday through the fall, Gurwell said, with several area volunteers helping run the classes.

Players are asked to bring their gloves and bats if possible.

This is the 16th year Gurwell, et al, have offered the clinic.
