Waynesboro Generals launch Gold Glove Academy

Chris Graham

waynesboro generals-newThe Waynesboro Generals of the Valley Baseball League announce the formation of the Generals Gold Glove Academy.

The Academy’s initial venture is a baseball clinic to be held at Waynesboro High School, February 12 and 19, from 3:00 to 4:30 p.m. The two 90-minute sessions will be devoted entirely to defense, with the prevailing theme of: R-P-D! Run Prevention Defense. Youth level and high school athletes and coaches are cordially invited.

Denny Walling, a former major league player, and Seth Berry of The Home Run Club are the featured coaches. They will concentrate on the importance of defensive fundamentals as they apply to each position.

There will be door prizes plus free tickets to 2017 Generals games. Attendees of both sessions will be awarded certificates.

Registration (required) fee is $10. Register online with program director, Ron Mentus: [email protected] by February 8.
