The American Baseball Coaches Association announced today the extension of its partnership with speed-tracking technology company Pocket Radar® Inc. Now an ABCA Double Partner, Pocket Radar will be introducing an all-new scholarship for ABCA coach members and is also going to be a featured presenter on the Expo Theater stage at the 78th annual ABCA Convention in Chicago, Illinois.
“
Over the past several years, Pocket Radar has been an outstanding partner for our association,” said ABCA Executive Director Craig Keilitz. “
Our member coaches have benefited greatly not only from their innovative product solutions but also from their continual presence at our annual Convention and on the Expo Theater stage, and we look to bring even more value to our members with the newly launched Pocket Radar Coach Scholarship.”
The ABCA and Pocket Radar announced this week the all-new Pocket Radar Coach Scholarship, which will provide five ABCA member coaches with free access to Pocket Radar's Smart Coach Radar and Smart Display technology. All ABCA member coaches can apply online now through December 8. One recipient will be selected from the applicants each Wednesday beginning November 10 and running through December 8.

“
Associating our brand and technology with a top rate organization like the American Baseball Coaches Association is a no-brainer,” said Steve Goody, CEO and co-founder of Pocket Radar. “
As they are one of the leaders in providing opportunity and top rate education to all levels in the sport of baseball, our company was founded on the idea of providing accessible pro-level technology to everyone. We are excited to continue our relationship as a Double Partner and look forward to kickstarting our new Coach Scholarship, among many other initiatives.”
