BLACK MEN COALITION YOUTH BASEBALL NEEDS A TEAM OF VOLUNTEERS TOO!

BMC-YB head & assistant coaches must be leaders who recognize that they hold a position of trust and responsibility in a program that deals with a sensitive and formative period of a child’s development. Although knowledge of the game is important, these men and women must be something more than just skill teachers. It is required that these individuals have the understanding, patience and capacity to work with children and the ability to inspire respect from their players, players’ families, umpires and spectators. Above all else, head & assistant coaches must realize that they are helping to shape the physical, mental and emotional development of young people. The heart of youth baseball is what happens between the adult coach and the player. Children this age are strongly influenced by individuals whose ideals and aspirations are similar to their own. These adults and players share a common interest in the game, a desire to excel and a determination to win. Because of this unique bond, coaches must be sensitive to the mental and physical limitations of each player and recognize that the game is a vehicle for training and enjoyment, not an end in itself.
