2023 Umpire Certification - Registration is Now Open! (as of Friday March 10)


For the 2023 Season, Umpire certification will be a combination of the following (both are required for certification):
Online Training - this will consist of modules to complete which will focus on the basics of umpiring, rules, positioning etc. by watching videos and taking quizzes. This takes about 2 hours total but can be broken down by module if you cannot complete the 2 hours in one sitting.
In-person Training - you will receive in-person instruction and mentoring on how to make calls, positioning etc. and will be based on what you have learned from the on-line training.
Baseball Ontario opened up registration this past Friday and we have been approved for the in-person training on April 1st at Garth Webb Secondary School gym located at 2820 West Oak Trails Blvd. There are 2 sessions to choose from - 8:00am-12:00pm or 1:00pm-5:00pm.
Before signing up to attend the umpire training, we encourage you to review the Umpire information on our website (under the Umpires tab) to familiarize yourself with umpiring.
