🚨 The ABCA Coaches Hub is now online! 🚨

Since April, the Coaches Hub has been delivering coaching education and player development content directly to inboxes every Thursday. Now, we've created a central destination where coaches and parents can access those resources and more.

Built around three pillars:
⚾ Coaching Resources
👨‍👩‍👧 Parent Resources
💪 Athlete Development & Wellness

The Coaches Hub features weekly coaching tips, video features, and resources designed to help create a better baseball experience.

And this is just Phase 1. More content and resources are on the way!

Truly the best place on earth for two weeks every June!

⚾️ The State of College Baseball press conference returned to Omaha this week, bringing together leader from the NCAA, Baseball Committeee and ABCA to discuss the current landscape and future of college baseball.

ABCA Executive Director Craig Keilitz reflected on what makes this time of year so special:

"There's not a better spot to be than Omaha, Nebraska in mid-June..."

From record attendance and growing fan interest to the incredible atmosphere surrounding the Men's College World Series, college baseball continues to build momentum year after year.

[ABCA @ABCA1945]

🏆 Eight teams. Eight head coaches. One common connection.

Every head coach competing in the 2026 College World Series is an ABCA member.

From youth baseball to the College World Series, the ABCA is proud to serve coaches who are committed to learning, growing, and advancing our game!

[ABCA @ABCA1945]

The road to Omaha began with a vision.

In 1947, the ABCA, then known as the American Association of College Baseball Coaches, founded the College World Series.

Nearly 80 years later, the tradition continues as college baseball's biggest stage returns to Omaha!

[ABCA @ABCA1945]

The ABCA is deeply saddened of Fourth Vice President and Board Member Rob Hahne.

Hahne dedicated his life to serving players, coaches, and the game of baseball. Through his leadership, he made an immeasurable impact on youth baseball both throughout the DMV region and nationally. From mentoring young athletes and coaches to helping create initiatives that strengthened and grew the sport at the youth level, Rob’s influence will be felt for generations.

His commitment to bringing the baseball community together was unmatched. We extend our deepest condolences to Rob’s family, friends, colleagues, and all those whose lives he impacted through the game he loved.

A week ago today, the Panthers were buzzing after reaching an agreement with Jaelan Phillips. It would be another nine hours before they landed Devin Lloyd.

Here's a behind-the-scenes look at how that first day came together.

Hard to believe it’s already been a month since thousands of coaches walked the aisles of the world’s largest baseball marketplace.

Innovation. Energy. The future of the game - all under one roof.

The largest ABCA Trade Show in history wasn’t just about what was on the floor - it was about what coaches took back with them for their programs!

Take a walk back through the aisles of the #ABCA2026 Trade Show! 👀⚾️

[ABCA @ABCA1945]

As you prepare for the season ahead, the standard is set by you — the coach.

Sportsmanship. Integrity. Respect.
These values have defined the American Baseball Coaches Association since 1945 — and they matter now more than ever.

The 2026 ABCA Convention reminded us why this event continues to be the heartbeat of baseball education!

From world-class clinics and interactive Q&A sessions to new programming and meaningful conversations across every level of the game, last week delivered four powerful days of learning and connection.

Attendees can expect access to the all of the Convention videos in early February, with all ABCA members receiving access to the new videos in May.

Next year, we do it again.

What happens at the ABCA Convention doesn’t end when the week does.
It carries forward into programs, practices, and players everywhere.

It’s more than just an event.
It’s a reminder of what’s possible when coaches come together to learn, share, and lead.

The #2 trending movie on Netflix right now is Soul On Fire 🔥

If you attended #ABCA2020, you’ll remember this incredible story featuring @JOLearyInspires.

Still one of the most inspiring people I’ve ever met. Highly recommend watching his clinic in the @ABCA1945 Video Library!

This is why coaches make the trip.
This is why they block the calendar.
This is why they keep coming back.
#ABCA2026 ⚾🔥

[ABCA @ABCA1945]

This week isn’t just about sessions and speakers.
It’s about learning from each other.
Reconnecting with friends.
Meeting coaches who get it.

That’s the ABCA Convention!

[ABCA @ABCA1945]

Take a second this week to appreciate how many coaches are committed to getting better.

That’s what this is all about!
