2023 Elite Head Coaches Announced
Baseball Oakville (OMBA) is pleased to announce our 2023 Elite Program Head Coaches.
15U Elite
Nathan Brown will enter his 10th year coaching in Oakville with next season's BEL team. This will mark his 8th year as Head Coach of the 2008 program and is one of the few coaches in the province taking the team from Minor Rookieball all the way up to BEL. Baseball has been a big part of his life between playing in Mississauga growing up to coaching both as a non parent and parent over the years and giving back to the game. He has built a strong team culture where team success outweighs individual achievements and that ensures development and fun are had year in and year out. A long track record of success has followed the team over the years between tournament wins every season, to provincial finals and a regular fixture at the top of the COBA standings. Nate looks forward to the exciting challenge ahead in Elite baseball and leading these young men next season.
Congratulations Nathan!
