To ensure the highest quality experience for players and families, Floresta Baseball League has the following volunteer requirements for coaches, assistant coaches, and team parents:
1. Positive Coaching Alliance (PCA) Training — Annual Requirement
All head coaches and assistant coaches are required to complete annual training through the Positive Coaching Alliance (PCA).
PCA training is a proven program that emphasizes:
- Positive reinforcement
- Character development
- Sportsmanship
- Effective communication
This training must be completed each year prior to the start of the season, even if you have previously served as a coach in past years.
2. Background Checks & Fingerprinting
To promote player safety and protect our youth participants:
- All head coaches
- All assistant coaches
- All team parents (those assisting teams)
are required to complete Live Scan fingerprinting and pass a background check prior to volunteering.
These screenings are processed before the season and must be completed every year.
Floresta Baseball League takes these measures to ensure a safe, supportive environment for all players.
