The Blind Baseball Commission of the Italian Baseball Softball Federation (FIBS) held a clinic on 11 and 12 February in Reggio Calabria in collaboration with the local club San Giorgio.
Marco Corazza, an instructor of the Italian Blind Baseball Association (AIBxC, a WBSC Associate Member), and Leonessa Breascia's Muhammad Usman introduced the rules of blind baseball.
Seven of the participants will receive a blind baseball coach license.
Visually impaired players from the Calabria and Sicily Region then took the field to make their first blind baseball experience.
"Hopefully, these initiatives will leave a mark," commented Barbara Menoni, the FIBS Blind Baseball Commission president.
Menoni also announced that a new clinic is scheduled for 10 and 11 March in Paternò, Sicily.
