ProBall Baseball Clinics Bring The Dream To Life





http://pro-ball.com/
There is a big difference between a dream and a fantasy when it comes to baseball camps. The Pro Ball Baseball Clinic awaits those amateur players who dream of competing at a higher level than ever before.

In fact, “camp” is not the proper term for amateur baseball players who want to improve their skills.

Although they don't get headlines, thousands of adults with a pure love of the game play competitively in organized, recreational leagues across the country such as MSBL, NABA, and Roy Hobbs.

These players are not interested in attending the typical baseball fantasy camp, where the main attraction is rubbing elbows with their childhood baseball heroes.  These guys want a place to develop their skills to better compete in weekend leagues and in national tournaments.

Unlike a fantasy camp, the Pro Ball Baseball Clinic provides personal instruction by Major League coaches from various teams (Blue Jays, Diamondbacks, Indians, Rays, Reds and Royals, to name a few), where baseball fundamentals are stressed over an intensive 4 days of training.
Current Reds' manager Bryan Price and Cubs’ manager Joe Maddon have taught at the Pro Ball Baseball Clinic for many years. Reds’ assistant hitting coach Lee Tinsley has been a fixture at the clinic. Amateur players and coaches from across the country and even Europe (England and France) flock to the Pro Ball Baseball Clinic every January to learn from these Major League coaches. Over the past several years, teenage players have come to improve their baseball skills and take their game to the next level.

"It's a teaching camp taught by Major League coaches," Price said. "This is not a fantasy camp. It's not about golf or story telling.  It's structured to teaching the fundamentals the right way.  The workouts are similar to what you would see in a Major League spring training camp. We do early work in the morning consistent with what we do in the Major Leagues. Coaches are available in the afternoon for individual work as well."

What makes the Pro Ball Baseball Clinic unique is the individual instruction players receive from the Major League coaches. Serious adult players, youngsters playing travel ball and high school baseball, as well as youth coaches gain invaluable knowledge during the 4-day clinic. 

The Pro Ball Baseball Clinic is serious about teaching sound baseball fundamentals (pitching, catching, hitting, individual and team defense, base running and the mental side of the game). While players work hard during the 4 days, the social aspect that baseball imparts is not overlooked.  Clinics foster the father-son bond and true friendships are made between players and the Major League coaches. Youth players benefit immeasurably from the professional instruction that is the hallmark of the Pro Ball Baseball Clinic.

Founder Dr. John Rubinow ( jrubinowmd@icloud.com) believes that baseball is a cornerstone of a healthy father-son relationship. "While Pro Ball started out as an adults only thing (guys playing MSBL, NABA, Roy Hobbs, etc.), over the past few years, teens have joined their fathers. The father-son bonding experience on the baseball diamond is a beautiful thing to behold. It’s something I want to foster”, said Dr. Rubinow. 
There is a significant father-son discount offered for both the Arizona and Florida clinics. Please email Dr. Rubinow for more details.

The Pro Ball Baseball Clinic is the only instructional baseball experience where you can learn from today’s best Major League coaches. Adults and youth players 13 and older can get one-on-one instruction from some of the best baseball coaches in the world. The January clinics allow players from travel clubs and high schools to get a head start on their competition. For players trying to earn a place on their high school rosters, Pro Ball gives them the skills they need to stand out during pre-season tryout periods. Juniors and seniors with the desire to compete at the collegiate level can get that extra edge as well.
