Volunteer to Coach Minor Baseball in Edmonton
To volunteer as a coach with SWEMBA's House League, there will be a registration opening early 2024.
Volunteering to be a coach is a great way to give back to your community.
Training and Resources
All coaches are required to complete the Respect in Sport Program and the head coach must complete Emergency Action Plan. This is a mandatory program for coaches at all levels. Details can be found here:
https://www.baseballalberta.com/respect-in-sport
All coaches are encouraged to develop their baseball knowledge and coaching skills by participating in NCCP training. To start, coaches must register at
https://nccp.baseball.ca and complete the two online modules. Registering online gives coaches access to a library of drills, skills and practice plans. After the completion of the online modules, coaches should attend NCCP clinics as outlined in the requirements above. NCCP clinics are hosted by various organizations in and around the Edmonton area and on various dates.
SWEMBA will reimburse coaches for the cost of NCCP clinics (up to Provincially Certified status) and Respect in Sport.
