Anyone wishing to participate in coaching an MYBA travel team MUST follow some clear guidelines:
- Complete the New Coaches Application and the Coaches Contract located in the Documents
Tab and return to MYBA by the stated deadline.
- Be willing to VOLUNTEER to help with various events being run by MYBA. Coaches are
expected to do much more than coach their own team. MYBA is a full-fledged program and is
run entirely by volunteers.
Coaches for the new teams each year (4th grade boys and 5th grade girls) are selected from a pool of candidates AFTER the selection of the team by MYBA. This insures that the team selection process is fair.
Typically, there is one Head Coach and one Assistant Coach. One other coach may be selected to help with practices and keep the book during games. However, most leagues in which MYBA plays only allow 2 coaches on the Bench.
If you are interested in coaching we would love to have you. But, to be fair to all, be ready to work. Coaching is a privelage, not a right. It takes hard work to make this program successful.
Should you have any questions you may contact one of our Coordinators: Bill Gardner - Boys; Brian Flaherty - Girls; or any of the MYBA Board Members.
