Any current FMB bench staff interested in Coaching an OBA team (rep or select) for the 2025 season?
Being a part of an OBA team can be fulfilling and exciting. It gives both players and coaches an opportunity to play and develop at a higher level and opens doors to many exciting tournaments throughout the season.
As of current, playing on an OBA team is in addition to playing on your WOBA house league team. An OBA coach however, may be different from the WOBA coach in that respective age level.
By applying for this position, the applicant agrees to follow FMB's guidelines for the tryout process held in the fall. The applicant also agrees to acquire the appropriate courses needed for the level of ball, specific to that age division. (These courses are at a cost to the applicant, not the organization). Lastly, the applicant agrees to follow the philosophy of FMB while operating the team throughout the season for all events.
Note that if no application is chosen for a specific age division at this time, there will be an opportunity in the spring to revisit this option for the open age levels. This is not mandatory at any age level. This is simply an opportunity for coaches that feel they have players looking for more competitive ball.
Advantages for applying now:
Have your team chosen so they can hit the field as early as permitted. Potentially have some indoor winter workouts.
Tournaments become harder to enter in the spring. Many open their registration in January and February and fill up within weeks.
Give coaches time to book and participate in required courses.
