ISG was founded by Bill Arce in 1985 as a response to a need for qualified coaches in Europe.

 

 

 
 

Since 1985, ISG has hosted clinics at many sites.  From 1985-1991 and again from 1998 to the present, ISG has administered and conducted the clinics.  From 1992-1997 Major League Baseball assumed the operation of the clinics. Following is a list of the countries serviced by ISG each year, the speakers at each of the clinics, the sponsors, and the clinic team leader.
