The Municipal Stadium of Baní, in the province of Peravia, was the setting for an outstanding regional baseball clinic aimed at children aged 8 to 10 years old. This training event, which is part of a national sports development program, brought together 230 young prospects from various provinces of the country. The activity, organized by the Dominican Baseball Federation (FEDOM), the management of the Dominican team heading to the World Baseball Classic and Major League Baseball (MLB), seeks to promote the values of sport and provide a solid foundation for the future of these young athletes. The clinic, which took place at the Luis María Herrera stadium, featured the participation of important figures from baseball, who shared their experience and knowledge with the young participants. The children had the opportunity to participate in technical stations, game dynamics and an exciting Home Run Derby, creating an environment of learning and healthy competition.
