Interested in becoming an Umpire?
Click HERE to get further details on our apprenticeship program. The Apprentice Program is also considered clinics of which a member may attend to get bonus points for their ratings. We ask if you plan on attending these clinics: (1) you must be prompt, anyone coming in late will not get credit for attending a classroom clinic. (2) Please in the beginning allow Barry to conduct the clinic without constant interruption unless asked for your input. "Referral Program". For current members that recruit a new umpire, if that apprentice becomes a full member, then your dues for the following season will be waived. 2024 Apprentice Program Dates Completed MEMBER DUES:
