Participating youth need to bring a glove to the clinic. There will be an autograph session at the conclusion of each clinic.

Each clinic will run from 2 p.m. to 3:15 p.m. and will be followed by a PawSox home game that night at 6:05 p.m. Families are invited to remain at McCoy after the clinic to watch batting and infield practice.
