Umpires Needed!

Hello All!


Below is a notice from Softball BC.  We are in need of Umpires!  Games without certified umpires will be cancelled.  Umpires can register HERE.

Our District is also in need of an Umpire in Chief.  This position has a limited time commitment.  It will connect us with the Provincial Umpire in Chief and ensure that our Umpires are certified.

If you have any interest or have questions please email!  

Volunteer Umpire - U11C and under only

We want to take a moment to address a critical issue affecting our sport—the shortage of umpires. Many associations are struggling to find enough officials to cover games across all age categories.

For U11C and below, if a certified umpire is unavailable, the game may proceed with a volunteer umpire, provided they wear full protective gear, including shin guards, a chest protector, and an umpire mask with a throat protector (or a catcher’s mask). An infielder face mask or a helmet with a cage do not meet the required safety standards. The volunteer umpire must position themselves behind the plate to call pitches and cannot call balls and strikes from anywhere else on the field. The volunteer umpire must be 16 years of age or older. If no volunteer is available, the game will be cancelled.

For U11 Rep and above categories and classifications, if a certified umpire is unavailable, the game will be cancelled. The above was developed in consultation with our Provincial Umpire-in-Chief. If you have any questions or know of someone interested in becoming a certified umpire, please contact your District Umpire-in-Chief.
