Registration is now open for the 18th annual St. Louis Cardinals Kids Clinics presented by Nike.
Each year, Cardinals Kids Clinics provide boys and girls ages 7-13 with an opportunity to learn baseball fundamentals from former Cardinals players and coaches at a variety of locations throughout the greater St. Louis community.
The 2023 Cardinals Kids Clinics runs from June 6 through August 1 and includes eight local dates around St. Louis and five out-of-town clinic visits (Cape Girardeau & Farmington, Mo., and Springfield, Quincy & Effingham, Ill.).
At each half-day clinic, instructors will provide small group instruction on pitching, hitting, base-running and other baseball fundamentals. Every instructor at the Kids Clinics is a former Cardinals player or coach. Additionally, 2022 All-MLB relief pitcher Ryan Helsley, 2022 Gold Glove Award winner Brendan Donovan, 2011 World Series MVP David Freese, and Cardinals Hall of Fame pitcher Chris Carpenter are scheduled to appear as special guests at select clinic locations (subject to change).
Each participant will receive a goodie bag complete with a Cardinals t-shirt and hat, a voucher for two tickets to a select 2023 home game (subject to availability and exclusions), as well as autographed baseball cards signed by instructors. On clinic dates in which Donovan or Helsley are scheduled to appear, each participant will also receive an autographed baseball from the respective player.
Registration is $125 per child ($99 per child for the clinics on June 6 and 8). To register a child for a Cardinals Kids Clinic, or for a list of instructors and more information, visit cardinals.com/clinics.
