Proud to Be a USA Baseball BASE-Compliant Organization
At GT Tribe Baseball, the safety, development, and well-being of every athlete are our top priority. That’s why we are proud to be recognized as a USA Baseball BASE-Compliant organization—a trusted standard in youth baseball that ensures programs meet essential safety and conduct requirements.
What Does BASE Compliance Mean?
BASE stands for Baseball Athlete Safety Education, a USA Baseball initiative designed to protect young athletes and promote healthy development through comprehensive training and certification.
As a BASE-Compliant club:
✅ All coaches and volunteers are certified through USA Baseball’s BASE program.
✅ We conduct thorough background checks on all adult staff and volunteers.
✅ All personnel complete Abuse Awareness and Prevention Training to help identify, prevent, and appropriately respond to any form of misconduct or abuse.
✅ We adhere to national player health and safety guidelines, including proper pitch count limits, arm care protocols, and heat safety practices.
✅ Our organization upholds a strict Code of Conduct focused on respect, integrity, and sportsmanship at every level of play.
Why It Matters:
Being BASE-Compliant isn’t just a badge—it’s a promise. It means our athletes are part of a program that puts their physical and emotional safety first, ensures our staff is educated and accountable, and creates an environment where players can grow in skill, confidence, and character.
We are committed to upholding these standards year-round and continuing to improve the safety and integrity of our program.
