What coaches will need to coach an OBA Rep team in 2008:

All new coaches must first begin training by taking an online course available at http://nccp.baseball.ca/. The fee for the online course is $37.45 and gives you access to on-line video drills, materials, practice plans and skill development tools in an easy to follow format. You continue to have access to the site after completing the on-line portion of the entry course.

In order to be certified to coach any Baseball Ontario program in 2008 (except Eliminations), all coaches must achieve Initiation Coach Trained Status, which means they must take the online course and the Initiation Module Workshop.

In order to be certified to coach at the 2008 Elimination Tournaments and National Tournaments should a team advance, all coaches on the team must be Regional Coach Trained, or Fully Certfied Level 1 in the old stream. Please see the chart below to determine what modules you must take based on the training you currently have.
