FACA Baseball-Softball Clinic Set For Dec. 4th-6th

The 2008 FACA Baseball-Softball Clinic is set for October 4nd – 6th at the Daytona Beach Hilton Oceanfront Resort (100 North Atlantic Ave…386-254-8200). FACA State Sports Chairmen, Pat McQuaid (baseball) and Mark Schusterman (softball) have put together an outstanding array of speakers and topics for our state coaches. (click on each sport to view clinic schedule or clinic letter).

The FACA State Sports Committee (district chairman)in baseball and softball will meet during the clinic. These will be very important meetings to discuss recommendations concerning the FACA All-Star Games, Clinics, and recommendations to the FHSAA. This will give each FACA district a chance to have input into the decision-making process.

Each of the FACA State Sports Chairmen serve on the FHSAA sports advisory committee in their respective sport. These are the committees where changes or additions to current rules and regulations are discussed before sending on to the FHSAA Board of Directors for a vote. If you have concerns in your sport, be sure to attend these FACA meetings at your October Clinic.

We are once again planning a Golf Tournament (Daytona Beach Municipal Golf Club North Course) on Thursday morning, December 4th with a 7:30 AM shotgun start. The entry fee for the tournament (which will include green’s fee, cart, and lunch) will be $45.00 and must be sent with your entry form by November 24th.

The Daytona Beach Hilton Oceanfront Resort is offering a room rate of $102.00 plus tax per night single or double. The cutoff date for this special rate is November 12th. Be sure to tell them you are with the FACA Fall Clinic for this special rate.

Clinic registration is free to 2008-09 FACA members and $60.00 for non-members. You can print a FACA membership application from this web site and mail along with your check for $60.00 made out to FACA or you can register and pay at the clinic. The advantage of registering immediately is that as a FACA member, you are covered with the FACA One Million Dollar Professional Liability Policy which covers all of your duties as a junior high or high school coach. Your association is continuing to work for you.
