The clinic was led by many members of the Angels' organization, including former Cleveland Indians hurler Charles Nagy, a three-time former Major League All-Star who is the pitching coach for the Angels' Triple-A affiliate in Salt Lake City, current Quakes manager Bobby Mitchell, Tony Reagins , the Angels' Director of Player Development, Steve Solis, the Angels bullpen catcher, OF Drew Toussaint, an Angels' prospect that played with the Quakes last season, Clyde Wright, a former California Angels All-Star pitcher who serves as a member of the Angels' speakers bureau, as well as staff and representatives from the Quakes front office as well as the Pro Kids Academy. The Quakes new Director of Broadcasting, Jeff Levering, served as on-field host for the event.

Lunch was provided by the Quakes and Valley Concessions for all clinic participants, and the coaches and Angels staff members participated in a post-clinic autograph session.
