Being a coach can have a very profound effect on the social, emotional, and physical development of an athlete of any age. Each player’s experience on the baseball field, whether positive or negative may last their entire lifetime. The South Simcoe Minor Baseball Association strives to assure that the coach/athlete relationship and learning environment is always a positive experience so that each player’s unique development can be maximized. Above all a SSMBA coach must exhibit the highest ethical and moral qualities while being a strong role model for each of the players he/she coaches.
