Our Story
ISG Baseball, formerly International Sports Group, is a non-profit organization (details below) founded in 1985 by internationally renowned baseball coach Bill Arce. Bill’s passion to assist in the development and growth of youth baseball internationally led to the birth of ISG.
This dedication to the development of youth baseball internationally addressed the need for increasing the numbers of players by continuing the education of coaches of all levels. ISG confronted that challenge by conducting preseason instructional clinics in response to requests by many baseball and softball federations in Europe.
In recent decades, the off-season instructional clinics have become the main focus of ISG and have created a rich resume of exposing the world's coaches to some of the finest American college and professional coaches. Over the years the speakers have covered a wide variety of topics ranging from individual and team techniques to the psychological and biomechanical aspects of the game. Today’s speakers keep coaches up to date with the latest "cutting edge" teaching methods in the ever-evolving games of baseball and softball.
Internationally, baseball has grown rapidly. ISG Baseball’s mission is to aid individual clubs and federations in their rapid growth and development - assisting them with their coaching education programs by improving their lines of communication with baseball and softball experts.
The scope of ISG’s programs -- dedicated to reaching these goals -- is dependent upon corporate sponsorships and individual contributions. The current level of financial support has recently supported ten to twelve winter coaching clinics as well as a few in-season programs. None of ISG’s personnel are salaried. Continued support of our sponsors assists in ISG's commitment to the continued improvement of international baseball coaching.
