January baseball clinic offered at FSC

Midwest Baseball Academy, which operates a national network of affordable hitting and pitching camps for players and grades 1 through 12, is pleased to announce the addition of Fitchburg to its line up for the coming winter and spring.

Registration is now under way at www.MidwestBaseballAcademy. com.

The season in Fitchburg runs January 21 to February 25 at Fitchburg State College.

Registration deadlines are approximately six weeks before each session begins, but last years camps sold out much earlier. Because of the low player-coach ratio, spots in each session are limited. Complete details and times for each site, as well as registration forms, are available online at www.MidwestBaseballAcademy.com or calling 1-866-MBA-HITS.
