Coach Apprentice Program

Oakland Recreation Baseball is proud to introduce a formal program designed to attract and develop young baseball coaches for the benefit of the Oakland Recreation Program and the youth it serves. We invite young men of Oakland to apply to become an "Apprentice Coach" in our Baseball Program. The applicant must - at a minimum - be an Oakland resident and a graduate of Oakland's Rec and/or Travel Baseball Programs. Candidates will submit an application and be interviewed. Those approved must become certified and will be provided basic training before assignment to a Manager for at least one season.

The intent of this program is to provide Oakland's Youth Baseball Players an opportunity to learn from energetic young men with a love of baseball and a burning desire to share what they know. As these young men gain experience as coaches and perhaps coach or manage their own children and their teammates, our program will bring more value to those it serves. And we hope this generation will continue to support this program for the next generation, and so on.
