We suggest that leagues or districts may wish to sponsor their young volunteer umpires for this training. The local league/district, in return, will be rewarded by the information and experience that these umpires bring back from the school. They will be experienced and confident to equip, train, and mentor other umpires in your league or district. This will be a positive investment for your program as well as the student umpire, and you will recover your investment many times over. You can only register for the school online.
