The clinics will be sponsored by the Elite Sports Academy (ESA), a division of Kama'aina Kids.

A two-hour coaches clinic will be held on Monday, Nov. 12; the time, location and cost of the coaches' clinic will be announced later.

"The Elite Sports Academy is excited that Cleveland Indians coaches and manager Eric Wedge have committed to helping our local players and coaches improve their baseball skills," Nicolas said.
