Charleston RiverDogs News Release


CHARLESTON, SC – OK, ladies. This one is specifically for you.

Have you ever felt "left out" when the guys talk about sports? Have you ever wondered what the inside of a pro sports' locker room looks like? Did you ever want to learn about baseball but were afraid to ask? Ever wonder what those signs were that the third base coach was offering?

If you answered "yes" to any of those questions, then the "RiverDogs Baseball 101 – A Clinic for Women" is just for you.

On Saturday, April 30, the Charleston RiverDogs will host its inaugural Baseball 101- Clinic for Women Sponsored by Beazer Homes at Joseph P. Riley, Jr. Park. The clinic, which will be conducted by the RiverDogs' coaches, players and staff members, is for women only and runs from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m.

This is your chance to learn what transpires behind the scenes, learn the rules of the game and how to keep score. Tour the locker room, and get the opportunity to learn baseball from those who know and from those who want you to know.

The $35 registration fee includes a Continental breakfast, T-shirt, lunch courtesy of Whole Foods Market, a ticket to the April 30 RiverDogs game against the Augusta Greenjackets, and more. There are group rates available and space is limited. For additional information and registration, please contact Dale Stickney at the RiverDogs at (843) 723-7241.
