ABOUT BASEBALL UNIVERSITY CERTIFICATIONS
Coaches are integral in the development of today's youth. We are teaching kids about more than just baseball, which is why it is vital that all coaches have the proper training before stepping on the field. The Baseball University Certification Program will provide coaches worldwide with baseball teaching techniques that are appropriate for the age group they are instructing.

How do you know what to teach a 10-year-old vs. a 14-year-old? At what age do you introduce a change-up or curveball to avoid injury while increasing development? How can you be sure that you are teaching baseball techniques correctly? The Baseball University Certification Program has six levels of courses that will educate and test a coach's knowledge of the correct baseball fundamentals that should be taught to a particular age group. If a coach is not careful, he can introduce a technique that is too advanced for a player and lose that player from the sport. The Certification Program aims to develop more qualified coaches and as a result, build better baseball players and drive more players to the sport.

As part of the Certification Program, you will receive online video footage demonstrating proper techniques at the plate, in the field, and on the mound. You will also be provided with detailed written materials containing information on the appropriate baseball skills for the particular age group you are coaching, how to translate baseball knowledge into instruction, promoting sportsmanship, safety and injuryprevention. These materials have been prepared by our content partners, Baseball Factory and Team One Baseball, in order to ensure that theyare of the highest level.

After reviewing the teaching materials at your leisure, you can login and take your final exam. After passing this test, you will be officiallycertified for three years by Baseball University, the leader in online baseball education, to coach at that age group.
