Great coaching goes beyond the game. It shapes how young athletes approach challenges, learn from setbacks, and grow both on and off the field. At CYB, we are committed to providing a coaching environment that emphasizes skill development, teamwork, and character-building.
Our coaches don’t just bring a love for the game. They come prepared with training, certification, and a shared commitment to long-term player development.
Investing in Our Coaches
Currently, 75 CYB&S coaches are actively completing
Little League and USA Baseball training,
along with required background screenings to uphold our standards.
- Background Checks – National screenings for every coach
- Abuse Awareness & Prevention – SafeSport or USA Baseball training
- Concussion & Safety Training – Injury recognition and response
- Certified Skill Development – Age-appropriate mechanics and practice design
Beyond these requirements, CYB&S coaches benefit from ongoing education through collaboration with the
Cheshire High School coaching staff and specialized clinics hosted by
Quinnipiac University.
Development Binders and the Cheshire Baseball Pathway
CYB’s Development Binders define a clear, town-wide development pathway from a player’s first season through their transition to high school baseball. Built on the USA Baseball Development Pathway and developed in coordination with the Cheshire High School coaching staff, the binders align instruction, terminology, and expectations across all age levels.
Instead of treating each season as a reset, the binders outline what players should learn, practice, and reinforce at each stage of development. This creates continuity across recreational and travel baseball and ensures players are consistently prepared for the next level within Cheshire.
By establishing common terminology and methods early, players arrive at middle school and high school baseball fluent in the language, expectations, and standards of the Cheshire program. This allows coaches to focus on development and performance instead of spending time re-teaching fundamentals or translating systems and terminology.
