Coach With Us – Lead the Next Generation of Pirates
As our current 10U team graduates to 11U this fall, the James Island Pirates are expanding! We’re forming new 8U, 9U, and 10U travel teams and looking for coaches and mentors who are ready to lead within a proven system built on culture, consistency, and development.
This is not a “start your own team” situation. We’ve built something special — and we’re looking for aligned leaders who want to be part of it.
We are seeking:
Head Coaches (parent or non-parent)
Assistant Coaches and Support Roles
Former players and community members who want to give back
Growth-minded leaders who care about more than just winning
Team Volunteers; Uniforms, Travel, Music…
At JIBC, our approach is rooted in player development and personal growth. We teach young athletes how to play the game the right way — with focus, effort, and joy — while helping them build the confidence, habits, and mindset they’ll carry for life.
You’ll have the full backing of the James Island Baseball Club — including program guidance, team support systems, and a proven roadmap to help you thrive within the travel baseball scene. We’ve built a structure designed for long-term success — and you won’t be doing this alone.
Our culture is built on:
Focus. Hustle. Having Fun.
Compete. Grow. Repeat.
Respect for the game, each other, and the opportunity to develop
Fall 2025 Player Eligibility:
8U: Born on or after May 1, 2017
9U: Born on or after May 1, 2016
10U: Born on or after May 1, 2015
