North Shore Baseball Association
The Michael Dee MacLeod Memorial Award is given annually to the 7U (T-ball) coach of the year in memory of a special coach, Mike MacLeod. Mike believed strongly in the value of coaching young children in organized sport and he was passionate about making T-ball a positive and fun experience for all children. His enthusiasm for coaching at the T-ball level was infectious and he devoted his time and energy to coordinating the T-ball division and to coaching his daughter Jenna’s team – the Red Sox.
Mike’s life was cut short at age 39 and he was missed by all who knew him. One year after his death, the Forest Hills Little League (“FHLL”) initiated a memorial award to recognize the dedication and commitment of the T-ball coach of the year. In 2016, with FHLL becoming part of our new North Shore Baseball Association (“NSBA”), we are proudly maintaining this Award at NSBA. The Award is awarded each year to a worthy recipient by a member of Mike’s family who continue the tradition in memory of Mike.
