The Good Citizens Foundation and the Global Sports Association are working on the logisitics of forming two Regional Sports Academies in Virginia and Georgia.  Plans are being laid to incorporate all the educational elements of the Protocol in to the programs of the Virginia Marlins and the Georgia Giants.

Jon Fulton returns to the Marlins in his first year as a free agent.  Jon signed with the Marlins in 2003 as a shortstop, was converted to a third baseman, and in 2008 was converted  again into a pitcher.  His work in the protocol has kept him strong as his speed has increased over the past few seasons.  Jon throws between 92-94 and has hit 97.

Nicholas McBride signed with the Texas Rangers this summer after a great senior baseball season at Ragsdale High School.  He was select in the 5th round by the Rangers.  Nick posted a 9-0 win-loss record for his high school team and was slated to attend East Carolina University.  He worked in the winter with the protocol program under the guidance of Jon Fulton, a converted third baseman now pitcher for the Florida Marlins Organization. Over the phone he shared a few facts about his velocity during the spring.  " I started out averaging 90-92 but as the year went on my velo increased and I was hitting 94-95.  I did hit 97 close to the end of the spring.  The protocol definitely helped me and I am more than happy to share my adaptations to the program.
