Help Wanted: Japanese and Korean Baseball/Softball Coaches

For decades, the standard of excellence in Asian baseball has been set by Japan and South Korea. But history remembers a different era—a time when the Philippines was the powerhouse of the continent, winning the inaugural Asian Baseball Championship in 1954.

The talent hasn’t disappeared; it’s simply waiting for the right spark.

The Bohol Coconuts Baseball & Softball Club is on a mission to reclaim that glory. We believe the Philippines is baseball’s last untapped market of elite teenage prospects. With the right ecosystem and world-class coaching, the first-ever Filipino-born and raised MLB superstar isn’t just a dream—it’s an inevitability.

We are calling on former players and coaches from Japan and South Korea to join us as Founders and mentors.

A Home Base for High-Impact Coaching

We aren’t looking for traditional donors; we are looking for partners. We are offering a unique opportunity to secure a private Eco-Lodge Suite at our performance center on beautiful Bohol Island. This suite serves as your tropical home base and a direct investment in the academy’s operations.

The Founder-Coach Model: Purchase a suite and serve as a volunteer coach, sharing the discipline and technical expertise that made Japan and South Korea global leaders in the sport.

Flexible Living: Stay in your suite during coaching stints or live in Bohol full-time for just $500 per month. This monthly contribution goes directly toward funding the academy’s equipment, nutrition programs, and travel.

Shared Ownership: We encourage collaboration. 2 to 4 coaches can purchase a suite together, creating a shared rotating “home base” for your group to visit, coach, and enjoy the island lifestyle.

Why the Philippines? Why Now?

The raw athleticism in the Philippines is staggering, but the “missing link” has always been elite-level coaching and infrastructure. By bringing the technical precision of the NPB and KBO systems to Bohol, you aren’t just teaching a game—you are building a bridge for these kids to reach the world stage.

Your involvement supports a holistic ecosystem:

  • Elite Training: Technical skill work for teenage prospects.
  • Social Impact: Our academy integrates a soup kitchen and academic tutoring.
  • Sustainability: Your suite purchase funds the long-term operations of the club.

Join the Founders Club

This is your chance to use your lifetime of baseball knowledge to make a lasting social impact. Experience the beauty of Bohol—an island with 1.4 million annual visitors—while playing a pivotal role in baseball history.
