In January 2010 Mustangs Baseball Club hosted the Diamond Dreams Academy at Boggabilla. About 14 players from the club were invited to participate on the day which went for 10 hours with non stop training.

Every player from all the different age groups received personalised training from the Diamond Dreams coaching staff. The professionalism of these coaches was exemplary and all players came away with a more positive outlook to their baseball.

With some of our club coaches looking on they were grateful for the learning they also acquired. We at Mustangs will again be hosting this academy and next time it will be bigger and better than ever. Well done guys!
