Umpire Registration Open Now!
Everyone,
Welcome to the 2024 season! We’re excited to inform you that registration for umpiring this year is now open!
Here at Welland Minor Baseball Association (WMBA), we are growing and look to have a lot of opportunity for new and returning umpires in the city. What better way to spend summer nights than making money enjoying the game we love watching and playing!
Take a look at the information below and if you have any questions contact admin@wellandminorbaseball.ca.
