2025 Umpire Clinics

Umpire clinics will be conducted either via  zoom on selected Thursday from 7:15 to 8:15 pm or in person at the DG Rec Center on Sunday mornings  from 7:30 am to 9:30 am . The Sunday meeting time of 7:30 AM is NOT a typo - trainers will be in the gym at the Rec Center bright and early on Sunday mornings!  

Attendance  at the assigned level clinics is mandatory for all umpires at each level. If an umpire is not available to attend a session,  please let the trainers and Umpire director know via email as soon as possible. Umpires that cannot attend all training sessions may be removed from the program. Makeup sessions are not guaranteed to be added to the schedule. The ZOOM link will be sent to all registered umpires in advance of the meeting.
