Thank you for your interest in becoming a MADE Baseball Certified Instructor. We are excited about the opportunity to connect you with youth baseball players and give you a chance to make a positive impact in your community teaching the game you love, all while making some good money doing it.

With that said, we take teaching the game of baseball very seriously, and require excellence out of all of our MADE Baseball Staff members. During the MADE Baseball Certification Program you will receive a champion’s education that will benefit you for years to come.

There is a lot that goes in to effectively communicating with youth players, and baseball is a very dynamic game with many moving parts, from baseball equipment and drills, to confusing rules, differing levels of confidence and self-esteem, tremendous amounts of failure and adversity, hovering parents, politics, and much more. If you are reading this now, you already understand and have been there before.

We are grateful for your interest and desire to help your community and we guarantee that the MADE Baseball Certification Program will help you in more aspects that you could have imagined.

If you have any questions along the way, please do not hesitate to email us at getmade@madebaseball.com and we will respond to you as quickly as we can.
