The Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp and the Henry Brown Athletic Association joined forces to present a free instructional clinic designed to encourage the growth of the game of baseball and inspire recreational play amongst underserved communities in Jacksonville. The clinic was held at Kooker Park in the Historic Eastside of Jacksonville. Jumbo Shrimp players and front office staff provided hands-on skill development during five different sessions in which participants received free instruction on hitting, fielding, catching, pitching and running. At the conclusion of the clinic, the youngsters were gifted a Franklin bat and ball set. The day of fun and education was capped off with attending a Jumbo Shrimp baseball game that evening seeing the players in action on a big-league field.
