The Royal Dutch Baseball and Softball Association (KNBSB) stops the organization of the European Coach Clinic. Instead they will hold a National Coach Congress on December 11. As reasons to dissolve the European Coach Clinic KNBSB cites declining numbers of participants and the burden of organization for the KNBSB office. Since more than a decade the EBCA Convention, which will be held from November 13 to 15 in Lisbon this fall, has succeeded the European Coach Clinic in the Netherlands as the “real” European clinic for baseball coaches.
