Job Requirements:
We are looking for umpires, young, old, and everywhere in between, to join our team. We have a significant need for adults as they often do not have the same schedule restraints as teenagers (how are they all so busy???). Teenagers are able to start working for us at 14 years old. For our adult umpires, the NFHS Baseball Rules allow for umpires to work games using wheelchairs and walkers, so no matter what, we want and need you for our team!
We have a program in place for the 2024 season for Young Umpires (12 and 13 years old). The program is designed to allow these young umpires to get experience working. You can read more about the program details at this link.
We need umpires, with and without experience, to join our team. We'll help those with no training to quickly get the skills and knowledge to get on the field and be successful.
If you have any questions, please reach out!
For Military Members, Veterans, and Their Families:
We are partnered with Protect the Game to create jobs and opportunities for those who have served in the Armed Forces and their families.
The program provides equipment and uniforms to get you started on your umpiring journey. In addition to the military member/veteran, it is open to their children, grandchildren, parents, and grandparents of military members and veterans.
