We are excited to announce our 2025 Certification training online! In order to be fully certified in the theory portion, all 5 sessions must be completed. Each session is an hour long and after session 1 is completed, sessions 2-5 can be completed in any order. There are mechanics sessions in person on various dates.
We will be using Zoom as our platform this year for our online Theory sessions.
If unsure about which clinic:
Level 1 Certification - Brand new to umpiring
Level 2 Certification - a least one full season of umpiring. Preferable to be 16 years of age.
Level 1/2 Refresher - open to any umpire but geared toward the newer umpires between certifications.
We are also excited to announce that we are hosting a Level 3 clinic this year. To be able to attend this clinic you must possess or have been waived:
Level 2 certified for at least 2 seasons.
Born in 2007 or earlier. (2008 may ask for special permission)
