Become a Coach

TAYBS survives on good coaches. We are always looking for responsible and enthusiastic individuals to support and coordinate league events and activities. As a coach, you should have a keen interest in the safety, well-being, and overall development of children.

Anyone can apply to become a coach. Across the country, coaches are grandparents, siblings, aunts and uncles, retirees, community leaders, former players, friends, neighbors, and more. Any community member who wishes to become a coach may apply.
