Calling ALL Umpires!!!!
Good afternoon Umpires,
Hopefully we will be able to refer to everyone as a 2023 umpire soon. Welland will host an umpire camp and it is in the approval process so we are awaiting a final date for that camp. You do not need to select a camp to proceed with your virtual portion of the course. That can be done once WMBA's camp is available.
2023 UMPIRE CERTIFICATION PROCESS
Registration is now open. Umpire registration fees for 2023 season are below:
| Level 1 | $25.00 |
| Level 2 | $45.00 |
Level 1 and 2 fees are paid through WMBA after registering with Baseball Ontario for your Learning Course and Umpire Camp.
