Summary:
|
Jason Berni, Paloma Valley High School teacher and baseball coach, requests approval from the Board of Trustees to attend the 2023 ABCA Convention, which will be held January 5-8, 2023, at the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center.
The 2023 ABCA Convention will mark the ninth time the World's Largest Baseball Convention is held in Nashville. The convention will kick off on Thursday, January 5, with the opening of the ABCA Trade Show and the Expo Theater. The ABCA Trade Show, which will run Thursday, January 5 through Saturday, January 7, will feature more than 300 baseball companies displaying state-of-the-art equipment and services, releasing new products, and showcasing the latest and greatest in innovative services, technology, and more. Many companies will unveil new products for the first time and offer special sales as part of the ABCA Trade Show! The Expo Theater, located within the Trade Show, will have clinics throughout the three days with product demos, training, and releases by ABCA partners and exhibitors.
The ABCA Convention will have an excellent lineup of speakers for the 23 General Session clinics presented by Wilson/ATEC. The General Session clinics will get underway on Friday, January 6, with a presentation by the 2022 NCAA Div. I National Champion head coach Mike Bianco of Ole Miss. The General Session clinics will run through the morning of Sunday, January 9.
The Youth Coaches Session will run concurrently on Friday, January 6, and Saturday, January 7. The Youth Coaches Session, which GameChanger presents, will have nearly 15 presentations explicitly tailored for coaches of youth-level teams up to age 14.
Following each clinical presentation in the General and Youth Coaches sessions, the presenter will host a Question and Answer breakout with all attendees.
Other events during the weekend include the ABCA Hall of Fame Banquet to honor the Lefty Gomez Award recipient and the ABCA Hall of Fame Class of 2023. There will be Divisional Coaches Meetings & Rookie Coaches Mentorship on Thursday evening; the ABCA Coaches Social in the Trade Show on Friday evening; six position-specific Hot Stove Panel Discussions on Friday and Saturday evenings, and the Diversity in Baseball Committee Workshops on Saturday morning. There is no better educational clinic experience for a baseball coach than attending the ABCA Convention.
