Westlake Baseball League is looking for student umpires. Any co-ed student who is currently in grades 7-12 and has general baseball knowledge. Applicants must attend our umpire training program in April / May (TBD) and will be considered based on a first come first serve basis, along with their baseball knowledge and their ability to manage a game.

Candidates must:

- Be available throughout baseball season – end of May thru end of July.

- Field and behind the plate umps are expected to make calls loud enough for players and

coaches to hear.

- Behind the plate umpires are the ones in charge of the play of the game.

- Update Nathan Pigg immediately with any changes in availability, especially if already

scheduled to umpire a game so a sub can be found.

- Failure to ump a game and notify Nathan Pigg may result in less games to umpire.

As a reminder, the better umpire you are and positive feedback that Nathan receives on umpires, qualifies for additional games to umpire.  Top-rated student umpires will have the chance to umpire during Rec playoffs and All-Stars games.

Games are paid out at $25/game prior to start of game.

Umpires must provide their own umpire counter indicator.

Each umpire will receive a WBL Cap and Umpire shirt.

 

Please include:

Paragraph on what would make you a great student umpire in our league.

Include knowledge of game and years of baseball/softball played.
