Dear Softball Promotions Manager or Sales Director:
Are you looking for an opportunity to make direct contact with softball coaches to show them your products or talk to them about your business? I would like to invite you to take part in the upcoming 2024-25 21th Annual Gulf Coast Softball Coaches Clinic where you will have the opportunity to do make those contacts. Our clinics offer softball coaches at every level (High School, ASA, Rec Leagues, etc.), the opportunity to learn from the best softball coaches, instructors and players in the world. These coaches have an opportunity to attend the state convention in January, however many coaches who attend our clinic do not attend the state convention and they will want to be able to see and purchase the newest equipment, apparel and accessories on the market today.
The 21th annual clinic will be held on Thursday, December 12, 2024 (4:00-9:00) and Friday, December 13, 2024 (8:30-1:00) at the Marriott Westchase, 2900 Briarpark Dr., Houston, TX 77042. This will be our 9th year in a full-service hotel and we’ve experienced remarkable success after 10 years at the Sam Houston Race Park and Gulf Greyhound Park. We have averaged between 400-550 attendees the past 14 years.
All our exhibitor information is posted on our website, www.gulfcoastclinic.com and the forms can be downloaded from the Clinic website. You may then fill out the appropriate form(s) and mail them to us with your payment or you may register and submit payment by credit/debit card or PayPal directly from the website.
Exhibitor tables may be set up from 3:00 to 9 p.m. on Thursday and 8:00 a.m. through 1:00 p.m. on Friday.
We will have 2 options for spaces this year:
1: Regular Option (Spots 3-9) -- $250 (Same size as in past years - 1 table, 1/4 page ad in clinic program, logo on clinic website & Texas Prep Softball for 1 year)
2: Large area (Spots 1-2) -- $400 (we have split up the large area on the left when you come in the door. Spot #1 is wider and will have 2 tables. Spot #2 is deeper than spot #1, but can handle more items), plus 1/2 page ad in clinic program, logo on clinic website & Texas Prep Softball for 1 year).
3: Double Space -- $400 (2 of the regular spaces together), plus 1/2 page ad in clinic program, logo on clinic website & Texas Prep Softball for 1 year.)
You may display and sell any softball-related items you wish to sell. The area for exhibitors right now is the Westchase Ballroom where registration and the serving of the Happy Hour will take place. The actual sessions are across the hallway in the Grand Ballroom. If you would like a room at the Marriott, we have a clinic rate of $125 with free internet. You can go to the clinic website, www.gulfcoastclinic.com and click on Hotel Reservations to go to our specific hotel reservation page.
If you want to use the larger spots #1 or #2, please contact me directly at
Again, if you would like to exhibit at our Gulf Coast Softball Coaches Clinic, please visit our website, www.gulfcoastclinic.com (click on Exhibitors) and you can download the forms needed and send them in. If you have any questions, please contact me at
Thank you for your time and I hope to see you at our annual clinic!
Sincerely,
Billy Hicks

Welcome to our 21th Annual clinic!! We are pleased that you are interested in our clinic and we continue to work to bring our coaches top quality speakers of our great game to improve our abilities as coaches and to improve the skills of our softball student-athletes whom we are entrusted to coach.
Over the 21 years, we have grown from a little clinic with 75 attendees at the Gulf Greyhound Park to 678 at the Marriott Westchase in 2020 before the Covid-19 pandemic moved us to an online clinic in 2021. We went back live in 2022 and are hoping to continue to grow and most importantly, help our fellow softball coaches and players improve the game.
The benefits of our clinic are as follows:
- Thursday & Friday sessions with outstanding collegiate & high school coaches.
- Food Provided on Thurs night after sessions
- Breakfast snacks on Friday between sessions 5 & 6.
- Several Vendors will be in attendance.
- Gift cards to restaurants given after every session
- Time to visit with coaches during breaks and social sessions to discuss softball and have a fun evening before the season starts.
