Blue Jays Baseball Academy
Thank you to everyone who participated in our first ever Blue Jays Baseball Academy on June 30th.  Despite the wet & chilly weather, this event was a resounding success!

The clinic was extremely well delivered by a group of enthusiastic instructors who engaged 120+ young athletes from Arthur and surrounding communities from the moment they arrived at the field.


We are grateful that the Blue Jays Baseball Academy selected Arthur to host this event.  The clinic sold out shortly after being announced.  Because more than 100 participants registered for the event, the Blue Jays Academy donated $1,500 to Arthur Minor Ball!  

We would like to thank the Arthur Optimist Club for providing a free lunch to each of the 120+ clinic participants, while allowing us to use the diamond in the midst of their Canada Day festivities.

We are confident that all participants learned something they can take away from the day.  Thank you to all who made this event possible!  Click here to see the short video from the end of the session on the Blue Jays Academy's X account.
