7. Coaches Certification - Coaches must be certified through a program, such as NYSCA, Simply the Best, etc… Coaches must have the certification before games begin in March.

 

Certification Update:
NYSCA now offers online Baseball Coaches certification that will satisfy the coach’s certification requirement. For $25, you can complete the certification online at https://www.nays.org/nyscaonline/ The online certification is a combination of reading and video followed by 2 tests based on the content. The videos are not required, but if you do choose to watch them, we have found that they run slow. You will find that the tests aren’t real difficult and some of the questions do require that you’ve read the material while other questions may be answered using reasonable judgment.
