RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Calif. -- The Rancho Cucamonga Quakes, in cooperation with their parent Major League club, the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, are excited to announce the upcoming seventh annual Angels Youth Baseball Clinic, to be held, weather permitting, on Saturday, Jan. 17, at The Epicenter in Rancho Cucamonga.

The clinic will start at 9 a.m., with registration beginning at 8 a.m. It will last approximately three hours and is free to boys and girls ages 6-13 and open to aspiring ballplayers of all skill levels. The clinic will be led by members of the Angels' instructional staff, as well as Minor League ballplayers. During the clinic, parents will have the opportunity to meet the new additions to the Quakes' front office staff and check out exciting information about Quakes ticket packages and group outings for the upcoming 2008 season.

Angels coaches will lead drills in hitting, fielding, pitching and catching, and a snack will be provided by the Quakes staff for all clinic attendees. There will also be an autograph session following the clinic. Participants are kindly asked to wear proper attire and tennis shoes, not cleats, to the clinic. All participants must have a liability waiver signed by a parent or guardian.
