Minnesota Twins Baseball Clinic
2025-08-01 16:00 - 18:00 | Minnesota
The summer of 2025 will be the 64th season that the Minnesota Twins and the Twins Community Fund, in partnership with Great River Energy, will offer free youth baseball and softball clinics. Created in 1961 by longtime Twins scout Angelo Giuliani, our clinic program serves to promote baseball and softball to boys and girls throughout Twins Territory. Our Youth Clinics have always been available to participants for free and will remain that way.

Our Youth Clinics teach fundamentals of the game, including but not limited to hitting, throwing, and fielding. Along with reinforcing important frameworks, clinics spread the JOY and FUN of baseball and softball. The clinics are for kids ages 6-12. We use safe equipment for kids and reinforce safety ground rules at the beginning of our events. We ask kids to bring their gloves and water to stay hydrated! Also include a ball cap, sunscreen, a snack, or whatever else your ballplayer(s) might need.

If your child(ren) can no longer attend the clinic, please email playball@twins.com as soon as possible, so we can allow another ballplayer to attend the clinic.
