The NC Dinos team provided a special learning opportunity for aspiring baseball players.

The Korea Professional Baseball Players Association successfully held a youth baseball clinic called "DODREAM" with the NC Dinos at Changwon NC Park on the 13th.

DODREAM is the representative youth program of the Korea Professional Baseball Association, which started in 2023 and marks its fourth year this year, and aims to deliver dreams and motivations to youth players as well as technical education through talent donation by professional baseball players.

About 100 senior elementary school youth players participated in the clinic, and the program went smoothly at Changwon NC Park Ground in sunny weather. Participants were divided into pitchers, catchers, infielders, and outfielders to conduct defensive clinics for each position, and then continued to the hitting clinic and experienced real-world training.

In particular, NC players demonstrated directly in each position and gave careful guidance and advice to youth players, and active communication between players and participants was made in the field, showing a high degree of immersion.

NC's captain Park Min-woo, who participated in the event, said, "It was a really meaningful time to play on the ground with my children in good weather. I received a lot of energy watching young players actively participate, and I hope today's experience will remain a good memory for children," he said.

Kim Joo-won, who also played for the national team at the 2026 World Baseball Classic (WBC), said, "I was impressed by the young players' passionate training. "The technical part is important, but above all, I hope we continue to enjoy baseball, and I look forward to seeing you again on the ground in the future."

The clinic lasted about three hours safely, and participants provided an opportunity to further solidify their passion for baseball and a sense of goal through communication with professional players as well as actual training.

The Players' Association plans to continue various activities to expand the base of youth baseball and foster future talent through the "Tap Dream" program in the future.
