Coaches' Guidelines for HBA:

As a coach for HBA, it is important that you address skill development and include them in your coaching program.  It is important for all coaches to understand how the many aspects of team play start with individual skill development.  
 
See the HBA Coach Guidelines on the side panel as well as a comprehensive list of 200 baseball skills sorted by position.
 
Arm Care
  • Coaches, please review the brochure on arm care in the side panel and encourage your players to do the same.

Volunteer Background Check

All volunteers that serve on our board of directors or in a coaching capacity are required to submit a background check annually.  The league pays for the screening and the results are confidential.  You will need to submit your SS#. The data you enter is safe and secure.  Please click the Background Check - Registration link below to complete your Volunteer Background Check.

Head & Assistant Coaches

If you are a head head or assistant coach with any of our HBA teams, you are required to pass a background check and concussion training certificate.  This service is paid for by HBA as a way to ensure the volunteers working with your children have been properly screened and trained.  Head coaches are required to have concussion certificates for their staff with them at many tournaments.

All information will kept confidential to a small portion of our board.
