Instructor Chedli Mokrani (Tunisian Baseball and Softball Federation) ran three different online sessions for participants from Tunisia, Palestine, Iraq, Syria and Algeria. The following phase will take new coaches and umpires to the field for practical education.

WBSC Continental Instructor Chedli Mokrani (Tunisia) held an online Baseball5 seminar in Arabic for coaches from Palestine, Iraq, Syria and Algeria. The initiative was organized with the support of the Tunisia Baseball and Softball Federation.

The webinar was divided into three different sessions that lasted a total of five hours. Module one was about the rules of Baseball5, the second module was about warm-up and defence and the final session was dedicated to hitting and the managing of game situations.

The final recommendation that Mokrani made to the 24 participants was to take their knowledge to the field. The real challenge will be for each coach to build his or her own Baseball5 team, he said.

The goal is now to extend the webinar to other Arabic countries and to organize a webinar for umpires.

The second phase will take new coaches and umpires to the field for a practical education.
