2010 Benchcover Sponsorship Program
In 2010, our goal is to build covers over the bench areas. This will increase safety for the players as well as protection from the hot summer temperatures. Please consider sponsoring the construction of the bench covers.
Your organization's sponsorship, consisting of a one-time donation of $750, will be recognized in a variety of ways:
- A 3 x 6 foot banner along New Finley Ray drive, to be displayed for three years
- A plaque on one of the bench covers, to be displayed for three years
- A promotion on the MYBA website, with a link to your organization's site if desired
We hope that we can count on your help to make the park safe and enjoyable as possible for our children.
Please feel free to contact Bob Bowman at 575-4223 or vbbowman@fuse.net with any questions about the sponsorship program or with other sponsorship ideas you may have.

Coaches Certification
MYBA requires each manager and coach within the Softball, Community & Knothole Baseball programs to be certified to coach youth athletes. This is a very important aspect of our program which helps assure that each athlete receives a positive experience. It also serves as a foundation for developing coaches with a strong appreciation for both the youth athlete's needs and expectations as well as the basic fundamentals of the sport. The coach training and certification program selected by MYBA is provided by the National Youth Sports Coaches Association (NYSCA). It is a nationally respected program that MYBA has been associated with for many years. The link for the NYSCA coach certification is: http://www.nays.org/coaches/
Once the site opens, the coach will have the option of selecting the appropriate level of training: Initial Level Membership, Continuing Membership, & Gold Level Certification. Simply read and follow the easy directions for proceeding. New coaches or uncertified coaches must select the Initial Level Membership process. Coaches with prior certification through NYSCA should select the Continuing Membership process. All members or certified coaches will be notified prior to the expiration of their current membership near their anniversary date.
Membership in NYSCA is part of the certification process. To become a member through the NYSCA Online Clinics, coaches must participate in an interactive online clinic, complete an online exam, and sign a pledge committing them to uphold the NYSCA Code of Ethics. The membership fee for the NYSCA Online Clinics
is $25.
Coaches will find this training very helpful. The realistic 3-D graphics and video instruction perfectly illustrate and demonstrate training sessions, drills and games. The team of professional educators includes psychologists, authors, lecturers, athletic trainers, nutritionists, physicians, administrators, and expert coaches. This team brings broad insight into working with youth athletes at all levels across all sports
