Initiation Program

Welcome to Baseball Canada’s NCCP initiation program. Baseball Canada is proud to introduce this program in order to better prepare you for the upcoming season.

For only $37.45, you will be able to access an online library of information and coaching drills for your training purposes. Following your online course work, you will have the opportunity to put the teaching you have learned into practice during a four-hour clinic that will give you the "trained" status within this particular context of coaching.
