YORK, ME — York Little League (YLL) is proud to announce the launch of its Winter Baseball and Softball Clinics, a new initiative designed to offer accessible, high-quality player development during the off-season.

The program, held at York High School Gym, aims to keep young athletes active and engaged through the winter months. The clinics are divided into two 5-week sessions, with Session I beginning January 18 and Session II beginning February 22.

"We decided that for the sake of the kids' development and retention, a consistent weekly program is essential," said Brian Elkevizth, York Little League Director of Player Development. "Our goal is to build skills progressively, covering everything from base mechanics to specialized pitching and catching instruction."

Addressing Affordability in Youth Sports 

In an effort to make the sport accessible to all families in the community, YLL has priced the clinics at just $50 for a full 5-week session, breaking down to only $10 per clinic.

"We want to make this as affordable as possible," the League stated. "Any profit generated from these clinics will be reinvested directly back into player development equipment and future league needs."

Clinic Schedule:

• Softball: 3:00 PM – 4:00 PM
• Minors Baseball (6-9yo): 4:00 PM – 5:00 PM
• Majors Baseball (9-12yo): 5:00 PM – 6:00 PM

Space is limited to 30 players per time slot to ensure personalized instruction. The League is also actively recruiting support coaches and will host a preparatory Coaches Clinic on January 11.

Registration is now open at yorkll.org.
