Please read the following very carefully:
ALL COACHES MUST BE CERTIFIED PRIOR TO THE START OF THE SEASON!

All coaches will be baseball/softball certified under NYSCA (National Youth Sports Coaches Association).  There will be a video tape portion and a hands-on clinic for certification.  Both segments must be completed in order to be certified.

IF:

1.    You were NYSCA certified in baseball/softball last season.
2.    All you are required to do this year to continue your certification is sign a copy of the
Coaches’ Code of Ethics.  It is mandatory that all coaches attend the hands-on clinic.

1. You are currently NYSCA certified in another sport (basketball/football).
2. You do not need to attend the video clinic, however you must attend the hands-on clinic in order to be certified to coach baseball/softball.  (If you are not sure of your certification status, please call Mitch Stafford or Dadrian Cosby at 764-5637.)

1. You are not currently NYSCA certified.
2. You must attend the hands-on clinic and only one of the video clinics.  Attendance is not optional if you wish to coach.
