Training:
We are currently developing an online platform for all of our classroom training. We are making changes to the format and have created online content since the appearance in previous years of COVID-19. Once we receive your application, you will be contacted with the information on how to access the training program.
Before games are assigned, the courses provided in this portion of our training program must be completed. 1st and 2nd year umpires will need to complete these courses, they cover the LSBA rulebook, MLB rulebook, positioning and other important information needed to effectively umpire a baseball game.
We will host a Field Training session that focuses on the positioning and mechanics of an umpire. This session is a weekend event that is required attendance of both the Saturday and Sunday training. The Saturday training will be learning mechanics, positioning and working drills to understand how to move on the field. The Sunday event will be live games where you will be working in a full capacity of an umpire. Both days are required for completion. Please come prepared to work and learn, wear your complete umpire uniform and bring all your umpire equipment as we will be having live game simulation that you will be working behind the plate and in the field.
Any questions please feel free to e-mail the UIC, Aaron Garnett, at [email protected] and he will respond as soon as possible.
Lee's Summit Baseball makes no guarantee to how much, or if you will work. That depends on how well you learn, how well you conduct yourself on and off the field, and your availability to work.
