MBCA Massachusetts Baseball Coaches Association Established 1968

MBCA History and Mission

In 1968, two close friends and rival coaches, MBCA 'founding fathers' Howard Ferguson and Thomas O'Connell, had a  unique vision to bring together baseball coaches from across the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. What started with just two men has blossomed into an impressive organization of over 700 high school, college, and youth league coaches.  The MBCA's mission is to promote high school baseball and academics, to foster the highest level of professionalism and ethics among its members, to recognize excellence, and to maintain strong contacts with national, state, and local baseball organizations.

MBCA Activities

The MBCA promotes a wide-range of activities and events over the course of the year.  Active coaches' milestones are recognized in our Victory Club; sectional championship teams, MVP's and coaches are recognized at our annual Awards Brunch; Sectional All-Star Games are held for deserving senior athletes; Service Awards are given to dedicated assistant coaches and deserving contributors to youth baseball; our annual Coaching Clinic promotes professional development as top collegiate and professional coaches and instuctors share their knowledge; and the capstone event of the year is the annual Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, honoring those outstanding high school coaches who have given their hearts and souls coaching young men.
