The training is comprised of three parts:
- Part I – Classroom work
- Part II – Schedule cage work to master the skills of calling Balls/Strikes
- Part III – Umpiring scrimmage games
How much are game fees? You can be paid any where in the range of $64 to $80 per game
What is the cost to get started? Your initial cost to get umpire gear can be any where from
$100 to $200 depending on your quality of gear. A list will be provided to you prior to the class room work.
What do I need for the training classes? For the first couple of classes, you will not need your full gear, but you will need it when we move to the cage work.
Is there any cost to attend? There is no cost to attend the classes. We ask, however, that you only attend if you are willing to be committed to learning, having fun, and trying to umpire at a future game.
