2025 Baseball Skill Clinic

On Friday, July 11th the Oneida County Youth Bureau completed its 8th FREE Baseball Skills Clinic held at the newly renovated historic Donovan Stadium in Utica.  The weather was picture perfect for the youth of Oneida County to participate and attend this FREE one day event.  The Skills Clinic, presented by the Utica Blue Sox players and coaching staff, entertained 135 Oneida County youth that took advantage of an amazingly well run, organized and structured baseball learning experience.

Kevin Green, Oneida County Youth Bureau Director said: “The renovations made to this historic ballpark make Donovan Stadium a true attraction for all visitors and for all our youth participants.”  The collaboration effort from the Utica Blue Sox organization remains first class from start to finish.  Green added, “Our youth, both boys and girls represented from all across Oneida County were treated to an enthusiastic foundation of baseball knowledge.” 

Much credit goes to the Utica Blue Sox players and coaching staff for their willingness to give back to our community.  Every Utica Blue Sox representative in attendance made an investment into our kid’s future by giving of their time and volunteering their baseball knowledge to our children.  Kids need heroes and the Blue Sox did not disappoint at this event!  Great job to George Deak (Owner) of the Utica Blue Sox for bringing in a wonderful group of young men to Oneida County!
