The Blue Jays Baseball Academy host one day, four-hour Instructional Clinics throughout Ontario for beginner baseball players aged 8-12.

Players rotate through drills that cover skills including: infield, outfield, hitting, throwing, agility, and baserunning. Instructional Clinic registrants will also participate in a Baseball Athletic Training station which serves as an introduction to fundamental athletic movement.

Instructional Clinics are taught exclusively by Blue Jays Baseball Academy Instructors. Academy Instructors are NCCP registered, experienced coaches, who have been trained in the ‘Blue Jays Way’ of teaching baseball to youth.

Participants receive a Blue Jays hat, t-shirt and digital baseball skills manual.

The cost of a Blue Jays Baseball Academy Instructional Clinic is $69.99 (+ applicable taxes and fees).

The Baseball Academy has moved under Jays Care Foundation, which has changed the way our donation dollars will support growing the game of baseball. As a result, a portion of proceeds from each clinic registration will be donated to Jays Care programming to cover baseball registration fees for Canadian kids facing financial barriers.

This summer, our Baseball Academy team took the field with over 150 athletes to celebrate the best of both bat and ball sports - uniting baseball and cricket in one unforgettable youth clinic!

The Blue Jays Baseball Academy visits local Ontario communities to host Instructional Clinics every spring.

All registered participants receive a confirmation email after registering for a clinic. An information email about the clinic is sent out roughly five days prior to the clinic date and will contain details about the clinic including when to arrive, what to bring and if necessary, details on the inclement weather plan. Receipts will be emailed to participants at least two business days after registering.

All participants are asked to bring a baseball glove, bat, helmet, baseball cleats or running shoes, and be dressed in appropriate athletic attire. Please also bring enough water, snacks and sunscreen based on the climate that day. A couple bats and helmets will be available for folks who do not own those items.

For any questions regarding Instructional Clinics, please contact the Blue Jays Baseball Academy at baseball.academy@bluejays.com. Please note that as we travel for clinics, response time may not be immediate.
