Clinics Part 2
Posted on Nov 20, 2007 under Camps and Clinics | No CommentHow do you promote the clinic? The sponsor, if you have one, can do most of the promotion. If not, then go to the sports editors of your local papers and the sports directors of the local radio stations. Explain what you trying to do and ask for their help. Since it is a community project, they should be willing to help you. Your booster club members can also help by putting signs in store windows, leaving flyers for customers to pick up at local supermarkets, and talking with the directors of area youth groups such as the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, YMCA, Pop Warner football, and Little League baseball, etc.
You can conduct your own clinic, or the high schools can work together and possibly involve the local college on this project. You can run one clinic with all the staff members contributing their time and efforts. These options can produce a mutually-beneficial presentation that will be a big plus for the community. A good clinic can be a big boost to both your community relations program and general promotion. Emphasize the word “good.” A class operation leaves its mark, but so does a project that lacks organization and imagination.
