Coaching clinic slated for today postponed
SEQUIM — The baseball and softball coaching clinic slated to take place today at 360 Sports Performance Training has been postponed.
“Orchestrating five professional athletes to come together to teach is a daunting task at times,” Brett Lillibridge, one of the athletes said in an email.
“However, do to a death in the family for one of our instructors and another dealing with a bad flu, we don’t want to only give you half of what we promised. We want to deliver to you all the information you deserve and signed up for.”
A makeup date has yet to be decided upon.
“Thank you of your patience and we are looking for another date very soon to reschedule,” Lillibridge said.
“Please look for an email shortly about the next possible date, and we hope to see your there.”
