We do ask, and will enforce, that your child attend his/her age specific group time. This will ensure that all the children are challenged but not over worked and that they get as much from these clinics as possible. Thank you for your understanding and continued support of Oriole Park Baseball.

There is no sign up or fee. The clinics are FREE.... YES WE SAID FREE. Waiver/Liability forms will need to be signed at the first clinic the player attends. The first few weeks we suggest that you arrive about 15 minutes early to complete the form.
