What coaches will need to coach an OBA Rep team in 2010:

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 2010 (except Eliminations), all coaches must achieve Initiation Coach Trained Status, which means they must take the online course and the Initiation Module Workshop. If you are certified in the old stream, you must be fully certified level 1 (technical, practical, theory).

In order to be certified to coach at the 2010 Elimination Tournaments (and National Tournaments should a team advance), all coaches on the team must meet the requirements for their particular tournament as outlined below:
