The Turn 2 Foundation was founded by New York Yankee Derek Jeter. This four-day clinic is free for boys and girls ages 8 to 13. The clinic will focus on baseball fundamentals, as well as important life skills and lessons, which are acquired from Derek Jeter's book, The Life You Imagine.

Throughout the clinic, participants are led through multiple baseball skill stations by a group of experienced local coaches. Stations will focus on teaching and reinforcing the fundamentals of hitting, fielding, throwing, pitching and base running, as well as highlighting Derek's 10 Life Lessons.
