In appreciation for your time commitment, head coaches will get their player fees reimbursed. (One per team). Contact your league commissioner for details and open coaching spots. Current coaches will have priority. If you are interested in coaching, use the same registration process as a player.

Coaches can reserve field time for practices as space permits. Please limit your requests to one week night and one weekend slot to allow all teams the opportunity to reserve a field. If slots are still available within 48 hours of your desired time, you may reserve an open slot even if you already have a week night and/or weekend slot.

Week night slots are (5:30 to 7:00) or (7:00 to Dark). Two teams can schedule adjacent time slots to facilitate a scrimmage if desired.

Weekend slots are in one hour blocks and reservations are limited to two hours.

What is Sudden Cardiac Arrest?

A Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) occurs when the heart suddenly and unexpectedly stops beating, cutting off blood flow to the brain and other vital organs.  Sudden cardiac arrest is fatal if not treated immediately, most often by a defibrillator.

Who is Lindsay?

Senate Bill 252 is named for national heart health advocate and former Miss Ohio Lindsay Davis who suffers from a heart condition and has since dedicated her career to raising awareness of this potentially fatal condition.

"Sudden cardiac arrest is the number one killer of student athletes," said Davis. "At any moment I could have died because coaches and teachers had no idea this was even a possibility for someone who looked as healthy as I did at that age."

Lindsay’s Law

Lindsay’s Law, Ohio Revised Code 3313.5310, 3707.58 and 3707.59 went into effect in 2017.

Dear Coaches,

Thank you for volunteering to coach this summer! People like you are the reason NCS exists! Ohio passed a law requiring all youth sports coaches complete a FREE online Concussion training course every three years.

You can access the free training course here: http://nfhslearn.com/courses/61064/concussion-in-sports

**please note: you must "order" the course online but it is free of charge**

Once you complete the course, save or print a copy of your certificate and send it to your division commisioner(s). Once we have the concussion training certificates on file, we can then send you a copy of your 2017 roster!

Below we will have information regarding to coaching information that can help our coaches to increase their knowledge of both the games they are coaching but also player development.

We are planning on having several articles, web sites, booklets and other information which our baseball and softball coaches can read to help them improve their players practice a games habits.

We would also like to ask for any information you may have to put on this section so all our coaches can read it too. If you have information please send it to us in a word document format to Angela Yahn and we will publish it here so all can use it.

We look forward to helping you to help your players.
