COACHES
Our coaches must have the ability to communicate the aspects of the game to our players and have a passion for teaching.
It is not good enough to just have played baseball at a certain level, coaching requires a multitude of other aspects to be
effective.
All coaches in Test Baseball understand the goals and objectives of the Organization and the development process for each
age group.
