From Friday to Sunday, some 350 young Jamaican children ages eight to 17 years old from Kingston and Manchester, will be exposed to major league baseball coaching from a team of major league players from New York.
The three-day clinic, conceptualised Dr Bill Tinglin — a Jamaican attorney resident in New York — will, for the first time, see members of the Major League Baseball Players Alumni Association (MLBPAA) travel to the island to share their expertise in the game.
The initiative demonstrates a collaboration among educational institutions and community leadership groups and is grounded in the belief that Jamaican youth deserve greater international opportunities.
