The Toronto Playgrounds Baseball Committee will organize the recruitment and placement of all House League and Select coaches. All of our volunteer coaches must abide by and sign off on the following requirements:

  • I will teach my players to play fairly, have fun and to respect the rules, the opponents, the coaches, volunteers and the umpires.

  • I will ensure all players have appropriate equipment and ensure that equipment is worn properly for protection and safety.
  • I will communicate with parents and players to ensure they have the correct time for games and practices. Furthermore I will ensure I have parents’ contact details and I will communicate my contact details to the parents.
