Youth Baseball Clinics. The Cape Cod Baseball League Youth Baseball
Clinics are run by each of the ten individual teams. The best
way to gain information about the clinic in your area is to contact the nearest
franchise. Most teams run six weeks of instructional clinics beginning after the public
school year has been completed. Teams usually charge fees on a per week
basis, with instruction typically in the mornings from Monday through Friday.
For the most part, clinics target children between the ages of 5-13.
