Kids on Deck with Ernie WhittTeach Baseball. Have Fun. Earn $ome Do-Re-Mi.
What: The Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame’s KIDS ON DECK week-long summer camp program is looking to add its team of instructors. Coaches do NOT have to commit to all three weeks. Interest in one or two weeks is also welcome. See Kids On Deck 2010 brochure for more details.
  
When: The three 2010 camps will run from July 4-10, July 11-17, and July 18-24 respectively. Accommodations and meals are included.

 

Where: St. Marys, Ontario. SEE SITE PHOTO. Accommodations are inside the Lind Sportsplex (a curling rink adjacent to the Hall’s site and the St. Marys Quarry, Canada’s largest outdoor swimming pool. The Ball Hall supplies cots. Participants bring sleeping bags and pillows.
 

Who: Passionate baseball coaches (male and female) who love kids. The camp consists of boys and girls, aged 9-15, beginners and advanced (they are divided by age/skill level for stations), both baseball and softball. We have nearly 200 participants signed up already spanning the three weeks of 2010 camps. Tom Valcke, who has taught baseball in 17 different countries and who will serve as Head Coach for the 2010 World Children’s Baseball Fair in Japan later this summer, will lead the instructor team and design the curriculum. The approach taken at KOD is positive reinforcement and constructive improvement of skills, and we are highly driven towards learning by doing. The average participant from past years increased their overall baseball skills by 30%. NCCP-certified coaches are preferred.

Why: A chance to get paid to do what you love in one of Ontario’s most beautiful small towns. You will also learn new drills and skills from the other instructors. The compensation is $750 for the week, with an additional $250 available if you take on added responsibilities.

How: Complete the ATTACHED APPLICATION and email it to baseball@baseballhalloffame.ca or fax it to 519-284-1234. We will respond to all applicants.
