Press Release Portuguese Baseball and Softball Federation
Training at a high level with ESF
The Portuguese Baseball and Softball Federation (FPBS) recently completed the first part of two clinics for the inaugural Softball Coaches Clinic in Portugal.
“It was great! Coaches André and Argenis did a terrific job! It was an amazing start to the FPBS Softball Clinics! ” These are the opinions of Manuel Oliveira and Petr Stribrcky, two of the attending coaches. “Everyone is highly motivated from being there! A truly inspiring and informative atmosphere!”
Sandra Monteiro, president of the Portuguese Baseball and Softball Federation commented further by saying, “It was a magnificent step forward for the development of Softball in Portugal. This clinic included not only the coaches of the senior softball teams participating in the national championship, but also a surprising number of Physical Education teachers interested in the development of Softball and Baseball in schools. In fact, 70% of the participants at the clinic were these educators, most of them already involved in developing their own youth Softball programs.”
With the huge success of these recent clinics, the FPBS is planning to follow up by partnering with the ESF and is proud to announce the second part of this intensive course. It will be held at the Sports Academy of Rio Maior under the supervision of Professor Pedro Sequeira; President of the Coaches Department of the Sport Sciences School of Rio Maior. Subject and content of these clinics will include: Chapters on the Pedagogies of Sport, Didactics of Sport, Observation and Analysis of Sport habits for Softball.
