The 2012 UMPIRE TRAINING
classes will be held February 9th, 16, and 23rd at Dunford Recreation
Center, 1015 Green Canyon Rd, Mesquite.
The classroom sessions will be from 7 to 8:30 pm and a two hour on-field clinic
for all umpires will be held on a Sunday following the classroom sessions. If you are interested in becoming a certified USSSA
umpire send an email with your contact information (name, address, city, state,
zip; home or cell number, and email address) to craig.anthony@att.net. All umpire training includes rules,
case study, a take home exam, and on-field training.
To be eligible to umpire, an umpire
must be registered, have the complete official uniform and attend all three
training sessions and the on-field clinic. A board member must be notified if an
umpire cannot attend all of these sessions. This year's training will feature an
interactive umpire challenge, with cash prizes being presented to the winners.
The registration fee for all umpires is
currently $85 [$60 for USSSA
(certification/insurance) $25 - MSUA Dues] and is subject to change by the USSSA
National Office. This registration fee must be paid prior to an umpire
being allowed to work any league or tournament game.
TYJA is your source for Umpire Apparel.
The official MSUA umpire uniform for the upcoming season
will be the new items available from TYJA. The official shirt for MSUA league
play will be WHITE. Umpires must also purchase, the new hat, shorts or
pants and WHITE socks. All of these items have the new USSSA logo. For
tournament play umpires will be allowed to wear the RED or WHITE
shirt and should bring both when working tournaments.
Umpire schedules are emailed and/or mailed to each
umpire and will also be posted below after the league registration and schedule
creation process has been completed. Only the original schedules will be posted.
Changes or substitutions will not be posted. It is the umpires
responsibility to work with the scheduler if a change needs to be made.
