PROSPECTIVE BANANA BALL COACHES
It’s no secret that Banana Ball is the Greatest Show in Sports! It combines top talent on the field with unmatched entertainment and at the helm are our one-of-a-kind coaches! As Banana Ball grows, we’ll be looking for more coaches to help develop our players!
All Banana Ball Coaches must commit to and exemplify 9 non-negotiables:
- All-In, Fans First Mentality
They must fully buy into the Fans First vision and Banana Ball culture—seeing themselves as a coach, entertainer, and servant leader who always puts fans and the show first.
- Flexibility & Adaptability
Schedules, plans, and roles change constantly. The ideal candidate thrives in chaos, pivots quickly, and embraces the “Learn Fast, Do Fast” philosophy without frustration.
- High Energy & Thick Skin
The coach must be high-motor, positive, optimistic, and able to withstand constant public scrutiny, criticism, and tough love from leadership, players, and fans—without losing enthusiasm.
- Servant Leadership & “Whatever It Takes” Mindset
No job is beneath them—whether it’s sweeping floors, loading trucks, recruiting, or running practice. They must set the standard by helping in every area with a “that’s my job” attitude… often at 1 am.
- Coaching Competency in a Specialty Area
They must bring legitimate baseball expertise (hitting, pitching, fielding, catching, etc.) and be able to adapt that knowledge to Banana Ball’s unique style (speed, entertainment, trick plays).
- Entertainment Participation
This is not a traditional coaching role. They must be comfortable performing, dancing, celebrating, and engaging fans on social media daily—blending baseball skill with showmanship.
- Recruiting Hustle & Networker
Each coach must actively recruit players, leveraging their own network, calls, emails, and social media outreach to bring in top talent who fit Banana Ball’s athletic + entertainment model.
- Detail-Oriented & Organized Executor
Whether it’s creating Excel practice plans, coordinating with ops/entertainment teams, or keeping the clubhouse spotless, they must obsess over details and deliver polished execution.
- Creative Idea Generator & Improver
Constantly bring new ideas for entertainment, fan engagement, and player development while embracing that not every idea will be used. They must live by the philosophy of always finding ways to plus the show!
The perfect coaching candidate is a high-energy servant leader who can coach at a high level, perform on stage, recruit relentlessly, adapt quickly, and obsess over both details and big creative ideas—all while living the Fans First culture.
