Organized to coincide with the World Baseball Classics, ECA had a Sports Visitor program for baseball and softball youth coaches from March 1 to 11, 2013. The 17 male and female participants from the Venezuela and the Dominican Republic spent their time in Arizona to engage in activities surrounding the World Baseball Classic and MLB Spring Training. They attended several games during the first round of the World Baseball Classic, met with MLB athletes, practiced ball, and learned about new coaching techniques and disability sports. Throughout the program, the coaches focused on means of using sports to empower youth and develop leadership skills.
