• We encourage all our coaches to complete Coach 'A' certification by Year 1, Coach 'B' by Year 2, and Coach 'C' by Year 3. However, you're welcome to finish them sooner if you’re motivated to do so. The more you learn, the stronger and more effective a coach you'll become.

2. Coach "B" Certification: consists of 9 courses that cover baserunning, hitting, pitching, catching, infield, outfield, fundamentals of the game, practice planning, coach philosophy, creating a positive team culture, and umpiring basics. Completion of the "A" Certification and "B" Code of Conduct are also required.
3. Coach "C" Certification: consists of 8 courses that cover topics including strategies, game management, creating a positive experience, coaching philosophy, game and practice approach, and management of a pitching staff. Completion of the "A" and "B" Certification and completing the "C" Code of Conduct are also required.
