At a minimum, a certificate of completion of an approved concussion course must be submitted by each coach with the team application and signed code of conduct before the start of the season. Additionally, MJBO strongly urges all coaches to complete each of the health-related training courses available from The National Federation of State High School Associations including Sudden Cardiac Arrest, First Aid, and Heat Illness prevention.

Each team will have a minimum of (1) one head coach and (2) two assistant coaches. All Minor level teams will also be required to have (1) one bench coach in addition to minimum coaches listed above. 

Candidates for coaching positions will be evaluated based on the following criteria:

• Meeting the coaching qualifications as outlined within the JBO Rule Book and MJBO Operating Manual
• Past coaching experience in baseball and other youth sports
• Personal experience gained by playing, attending clinics or other specific training
• Personal references

In the event that the number of coaches requesting to coach at a particular level exceeds the number of teams available at that level, the Board will make the final selection and notify all applicants accordingly.
