NCCP Certification Requirements

All coaches (9U and up) are required to complete NCCP baseball training. Certification requirements vary by age and level.

• A/AA Coaches: NCCP Coach Certification Requirements (A/AA)

• AAA Coaches: NCCP Coach Certification Requirements (AAA)

Screening Requirements

All coaches and managers must meet Baseball Manitoba's screening requirements, which include background checks and other safety measures to support a safe and welcoming environment for all participants.

For full details, see: Screening Requirements (All Coaches/Managers)

Respect in Sport (RIS)

Baseball Manitoba and Sport Manitoba require all coaches and managers to complete the Respect in Sport (RIS) online course. This training supports safe, respectful, and inclusive sport by helping sport leaders recognize and respond to abuse, harassment, and bullying.

All coaches must recertify every 5 years to maintain an active RIS status.

Using an RIS Certification from Another Sport

If you completed RIS through another sport (other than Hockey), your certification remains valid. To use it for baseball registration:

1. Log in to your RIS account.
2. Click Profile at the top.
3. Under Associations, check Baseball and click Save Now.

Your RIS certificate can now be used for baseball registration in RAMP.

Transfer Plan
