The information concerning Coaches Certification can be found under Rule 9 in the BC Minor Baseball Rule Book.
In order for us to field teams in the Pee Wee, Bantam and Midget age groups it is imperative we have qualified coaches. If anyone would like to coach and does not have the necessary qualifications they should make arrangements to acquire the necessary certifications forthwith. We have been notified that "Big League Experience" is offering a certification program on 25/26 February 2012 in Tsawwassen. The whole program can be completed in one weekend rather then in a four day, one month program.

WRSSBA is very pleased to announce the selection of Jordan Broatch as Head Coach and Shayne Wilson as Assistant Coach of the 2012 Bantam AAA team. These two long-time baseball players and baseball enthusiasts are looking forward to building and incorporating a college based practice plan for our association’s younger elite baseball athletes. Jordan and Shayne will focus on player development, with particular emphasis on improving the individuals’ fundamental skills along with their physical conditioning, which will allow the team to execute intelligent decisions in both the offensive and defensive parts of the game. Their fresh approach to practising and athletic development will allow our young players to prosper, which will make way for an easier transition into elite levels of competitive baseball.
Please see the attached letter for a message from the WRSSBA President.
