This is toughest level to land a quality gig, because it is mostly a level about "who you know." Don't plan on just applying for a job at a program where you have no relationship. You wont even get an interview. The best way to get your foot in the door at the college level is to start out by volunteering at a program. You wont even have your name on the roster, and be prepared to work awful hours and do tasks that may not even be Baseball related. If you get a good relationship with the coaching staff, your name may get out there and your next step will likely be working camps and clinics. This will be a networking tool. After that, if you're lucky, you may be promoted to being a volunteer assistant coach. If you do well in that position, then you can start applying for full time assistant jobs...hopefully being promoted one day to a head coach. At the same time, plan on getting your masters degree. For the most part, Division I Baseball coaches are former D-1 players, so if you didn't play Div-1 baseball, your road may be a long one. Finally, understand that most Div-1 coaches wont even give you the time of day. In many cases, you are just going to have to show up to their office and volunteer to do whatever they need. Also, be prepared to get rejected by most coaches and not get offended.

There are different levels of College Baseball, and if you want to hasten the pace, consider coaching at the NAIA, JUCO, D2, or D3 levels. Your odds of landing an eventual full time position earlier are much higher. If you don't know anyone in the college game, start meeting them...because yes...it's all about who you know and who will vouge for you.
