Sponsored by Great River Energy, the

Minnesota Youth Clinics are funded
and administered by the Twins
Community Fund.
Clinics are open to boys and girls
ages 6 to 16 and are divided into
two 90-minute sessions; the first
session is for 6 to 9-year-olds and
the second for 10 to 16-year-olds.
Clinics focus on hitting, fielding
and throwing. Parents are encouraged
to participate with their children.
Children ages 6 to 9 years should
report Saturday at 10 a.m.;
children ages 10 to 16 should arrive
at 11:30 a.m.
The Play Ball! Minnesota Youth
Clinics program was created in 1961
by longtime Twins scout Angelo
Giuliani. Since then, more than one
million Upper Midwest and Southwest
Florida youth have participated in a
Play Ball! Minnesota Twins Youth
Clinic. All boys and girls attending
the clinic will receive a coupon
redeemable for discounted Twins
tickets and other free prizes.
Established as a nonprofit
organization in 1991, the mission of
the Twins Community Fund is to
enrich
local and regional communities by
providing resources for the healthy
development of children and families
through an association with
baseball, softball and the Minnesota
Twins. The Twins Community Fund is
governed by a board of directors’
representative of the Upper Midwest.
