JBA CLUTCH OFFERING winter baseball and softball academies

We are excited to share our Off-Season Winter Academies.  Like always, these are completely optional, but it is a great way to keep playing some baseball/softball during the winter months when the weather does not allow you to be playing outside.  Spots will be limited in each camp, so sign up quickly.  Here are some descriptions and the signup links are located here (click on this link) or use the menu at the top of the page :
