Most Ambitious Schedule in History of ISG Planned for This Coming WinterAlthough not solidified as yet, the 2017-18 ISG clinic season looks to be the most impressive in the organization's 32 year history.
Beginning with the annual EBCA Clinic/Convention in Antwerp in November, ISG clinic teams will venture to as many as fifteen sites to conduct two or three day coaching clinics. Already confirmed are clinics in Italy, Germany, Spain, Switzerland, Norway and Canada. Others are still awaiting finalization. Watch these pages for a complete listing by the end of July. |
Second Series of ISG/CEB Coaching Certification Seminars to Start in BulgariaBeginning in 2015, International Sports Group and the European Baseball Confederation (CEB) began an illustrious partnership to further develop coaching in Europe. Last year, coaches in Croatia and the Ukraine were instructed in some of the finer points of the game and are now spreading their knowledge throughout their nations.
This July, the first of the 2017-18 seminars will be held in Bulgaria. Pete Caliendo will conduct the week long classes for Bulgarian coaches which will lead to certification from CEB. Further information about the certification process and how a nation may become involved can be obtained by contacting President Tom O'Connell. |

Everyone knows the old saying about "idle hands" and the devil's playground...Well, ISG VP Pete Caliendo surely took that one to heart while on a recent well-deserved holiday to the Caribbean island of St. Maarten. Not content to just relax, catch rays and sip on umbrella-covered cocktails with his wife, Beverly, Caliendo couldn't resist visiting some baseball games nearby.
Gabriel Brown, the director of PONY Baseball/Softball on the island, part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands that is shared with the French province of St. Martin, invited Pete to join a practice session. While there, Pete spoke with the players giving them tips and then stayed to watch them play a game. Now that's dedication! Wonder what Beverly was doing all that time?
