INTRODUCTION

The Blue Jays Baseball Academy will travel to three provinces throughout the summer months to host a number of youth baseball related events. The Baseball Academy will spend one week in each province, hosting events in different communities within the province. Events can include youth clinics, girls clinics, showcase tryouts and Challenger Baseball.

In 2024, the Blue Jays Baseball Academy will travel to Quebec, Alberta, and Newfoundland.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHAT SHOULD I KNOW BEFORE I GO?

All registered participants will 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.

WHAT SKILL LEVEL IS THE CLINIC DESIGNED FOR?

All skill levels are welcome to join us at the Clinic! With that said, content and drills are geared towards beginner-level players.

WHAT EQUIPMENT DOES MY PLAYER BRING?

All players are asked to bring a baseball glove, bat, helmet, baseball cleats or running shoes. Some bats and helmets will be available for those who do not own those items.

WHAT SHOULD MY PLAYER WEAR?

Players are asked to dress in appropriate athletic attire and sunscreen based on the climate that day. All registered players will receive a Blue Jays Baseball Academy T-Shirt and Hat to wear on field! Players will also be given a nametag that indicated their group colour.

ARE PLAYERS PROVIDED LUNCH?

No. Players will not be provided food at the clinic. With that said, please bring enough water and snacks as there will be two ten-minute breaks, and one 20 minute break.

CAN I MAKE A GROUP/FRIEND REQUEST FOR MY PLAYER?

Group requests can be made 3-5 days prior to the clinic. We will do our best to accommodate as many group requests as possible, but these requests are NOT GUARANTEED.

WHEN SHOULD I ARRIVE?

We recommend players arrive 20-30 minutes before clinic start time to ensure everyone is checked-in and ready to play in time!

DO PARENTS NEED TO STAY?

Parents are not required to stay on-site, though they are most welcome! If parents choose to drop their player off and leave the field, we strongly encourage that folks return to the field 20 minutes before end time to ensure all players are taken care of.

WHAT HAPPENS IF MY CLINIC IS CANCELLED?

If your clinic is unfortunately cancelled due to inclement weather or any other unforeseen circumstances, our team will reach out as soon as possible to let you know. If we can reschedule a clinic to an alternative date, our team will offer all registrants one of two options; parents can choose to remain registered for the rescheduled clinic or receive a full refund to their original method of payment.

WILL MERCHANDISE BE AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE?

No. Toronto Blue Jays merchandise (i.e. Hats, jerseys, etc.) will not be available to purchase at the event.

WILL I BE ABLE TO SEE PHOTOS FROM THE DAY?

Any media coverage taken at the Clinic will not be distributed to parents individually. With that said, folks are welcome to enjoy photo and video coverage featured on our social media and website! You can find us on Instagram and X @bluejaysacademy.
