The real challenges that coaches face on the baseball and softball field.

The Frozen Ropes Amateur Coaches Alliance (ACA) will change the way your league prepares your coaches to do battle this year.

Presented in easy to follow video clips, the ACA allows coaches to improve their teaching skills and on-field coaching strategies for baseball and softball. The materials presented within the ACA are a compilation of the most requested topics from youth level coaches across the world. Coaches can review the materials at home and then apply the new tools on the field. All coaches are then invited to attend a live coaching seminar at their nearest Frozen Ropes location.

Coaches and leagues may opt to enroll in our Certification program whereby an online exam is taken in early Spring. All certified coaches are proudly listed on our national website and receive monthly coaching updates and discounts for all Frozen Ropes national programs. Two certified coaches each year are randomly selected to travel to New York (hotel and airfare provided) to attend a New York Mets or New York Yankees game as our VIP guest.

The Amateur Coaches Alliance content is presented by Frozen Ropes Senior Instructors, college coaches, major league players, and major league coaches.
