Welcome to the 2008/09 Baseball and Softball Training Season!
There is NO off-season at JGBSA. We strongly believe, regardless of your age, skill level and ability, you CAN get better!

Dear Ballplayers and Parents,

We hope that you had a great season this past spring and summer. Now, we are ready to offer you the best in clinics and private lessons to begin your preparation for 2009.

But first, we have exciting new developments at JGBSA. By the time you receive this, we should be just weeks away from opening our second location in Mundelein! Needless to say, we are very excited and look forward to bringing our same high level of service to the Mundelein/Vernon Hills area. JGBSA II is located at 1160 Allanson Rd., which is just a quarter mile west of Butterfield Rd. The new facility will be larger than our current location, at 20,000 sq. ft. It will feature more cages, pitching tunnels and three expandable areas with pull-out cages, perfect for team practices and our full lineup of clinics, which will begin this coming fall. If you live up that way, we sure hope that you will come in and check it out.

We are also very pleased to announce that two of JGBSA’s most popular instructors will be joining us full time, both for instruction and in managerial roles. Officially, Eddie Holbrook is now JGBSA’s Director of Baseball and Kent Szarabajka has been named Director of Softball. Both will still be giving lessons and leading clinics in addition to their new roles as Assistant Managers and developers of new baseball and softball programming for players of all ages and ability levels.

We owe our new growth to many factors, not the least of which is you, our dedicated and loyal clients. Thank you very much. We truly appreciate your business and will continue to work hard to provide the best in baseball and softball instruction, together with a first class facility and customer service.

Please look through this brochure of clinics to see what appeals to you. Whether you play house, travel or high school ball, we have something that will enhance your enjoyment of the game and help you reach your full potential. Not sure which would be best for your son or daughter? Call us and we will be happy to guide you.

We look forward to seeing you at Joy of the Game Baseball & Softball Academy and in helping make the upcoming season the best ever for your player!

Sincerely,

Dave Mandel, Craig Katz & the JGBSA Staff
