Registration for umpires is now handled through Stack Officials.
All umpires will need to set up an account through Stack Officials and receive training to start umpiring. District staff offers in-person gym and on-field training prior to each season. We also offer VR training throughout the year! If you are interested in being an umpire or have questions, please use the About Us section to email the Umpire in Chief or Assistant Umpire in Chief.
We encourage anyone interested to do the following:
