The Santa Maria Indians will be hosting four summer youth clinics starting June 16 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. The clinics will be led by Santa Maria Indians head coach and former professional baseball player Bobby Brown. Ryan Ruiz, assistant coach at Central Arizona Marc Smith, formerly of the Paso Reds and currently a Cal Poly infielder and Indians coach Scott Domingues will be there to help out, as will several of the Indians players.

The cost is $50, and the clinic is open to kindergarteners through eighth graders. Campers will receive instruction, a T-shirt, snacks, and beverages, and will also be admitted free to the Indians' June 16 game against the Santa Barbara Foresters. They'll also be honored on the field with the Indians before the June 19 game against the rival San Luis Obispo Blues.

To reserve a spot, send an e-mail with the kid's name, a phone number, address, and age to clinics@santamariaindians.com. Registration forms can also be picked up at Simas Sporting Goods or at an Indians home game. For more information, visit www.santamariaindians.com or call 345-1872.
