BTF Supports Improved Coaches Training
|
With the belief that knowledgeable, motivated and supportive coaches are the driving force of quality and enjoyable youth baseball and softball programs, the Baseball Tomorrow Fund Board of Directors announced today its strong desire to support improved coaches training. BTF encourages organizations to carefully evaluate existing coaching and consider ways to improve training and increase participation by staff, parents and volunteers.
While BTF will continue to place a strong emphasis on grant requests that demonstrate incremental programming and facilities to increase the number of children served, the fund will give special consideration to those applicants that have made improved coaches training a priority and will continue to accept requests for coaches training expenses.

Faced with limited field space and even more limited public funding, Think Detroit formed a unique partnership.
