Kane County Cougars Coaches Clinic

Baseball in Illinois News

The Kane County Cougars will hold its annual Coaches Clinic on Saturday February 27th from 9:30 am until noon at Elfstrom Stadium in Geneva Illinois. 
Although open to the public, the purpose of the free clinic is to specifically instruct coaches, and therefore, is intended for adult coaches rather than youth players.


This year's clinic will include several professional instructors from the Cougars, as well as Kane County's parent club, the Oakland Athletics, who will be present to share coaching philosophies, tips and offer specific guidance in the areas of on-field execution, training, and coaching style. Participants will be divided into small groups and visit each station throughout the morning session. Guests are encouraged to bring notepads or video recorders for their convenience.

The following clinic instructors are expected to attend: Cougars manager Aaron Nieckula, former Cougars hitting coach Matt Winters and athletic trainer Mark Nilles.

The clinic is provided free-of-charge as a community service from the Cougars and Athletics. A complimentary continental breakfast will be provided for attendees. Interested attendees are asked to RSVP by calling the Cougars at (630) 232-8811 or emailing dedison@kanecountycougars.com. Clinic instructors are subject to change.

NCAA Guidelines for Summer Collegiate Coaches

From Baseball in Illinois News

Three members of the NCAA's enforcement and investigations staffs spoke with the coaches about their investigations into agents and other issues. Dan Matheson, the NCAA's associate director of enforcement, emphasized that NCAA legislation prohibits all NCAA coaches—including those at Division II and D-III schools—from coaching summer league teams that contain junior college players, which has been an "area of confusion" for many coaches. Several summer league officials later complained about the crackdown, which will cost some young assistant coaches opportunities to get a shot as a head coach in the summer, and will cost some junior college players chances to hone their skills in summer ball.
