designed to display fielding, speed, coordination and agility. Through which the
players rotate and are observed and assessed according to specific criteria.

Can I be a Coach?
A coach is a volunteer, normally a parent, who helps teach the players the rules and skills to play baseball. Every team is allowed to have TWO "official" coaches rostered on the team. That does not prevent additional parents from volunteering their time to assist the coaches when needed. If you are interested in coaching please contact:
