OBA Rep/Dedicated Select Coach Training

The NCCP basic entry level course is the "Coach Initiation in Baseball (Online)". It is recommended that every coach has a minimum of the Initiation Online course.   This provides a foundation for coaches to build on, the focus isn’t “what to coach” but is on “how to be a coach”.  

2024: We are hosting 4 NCCP Coach clinics in-person.  The clinics will be held at the Tony Graham Recreation Center (former KRC) in Hall B.  To participate, you MUST have an NCCP number.

Registration is done on the OBA Coaches website - if you are new to NCCP (do not yet have a coach number), you must first "Register" on the Baseball Canada website (left menu) for Coach Initiation to create an account and have an NCCP coach number assigned. Otherwise, simply sign in and click on the Clinics menu item to register for the needed clinics.
