What is COYBL ? The Central Ohio Youth Baseball League does not organize the teams, select or approve coaches, players or volunteers for any of the teams.
The Central Ohio Youth Baseball League LLC, as an entity, has organized an affiliation of youth teams throughout Central Ohio for league play.
The Central Ohio Youth Baseball League, in order to promote the safety and well being of the youth participants, will require that all teams participating in the League will make an affirmative representation to the League that each team has conducted a background check on its coaches and represents to the League and to the parents that no coach has a criminal history of violence of any kind or felony offenses involving drug use or Sexual Abuse or being sentenced as a Sex Offender of any kind..
If the League discovers a team has not conducted such a background check, then the team is subject to discipline by the League which could include expulsion from the League or the forfeiture of games. Punishment for violation of this guideline will be at the sole discretion of the League director.
COYBL urges parents to practice diligence when selecting a team and coaches to play for.
