Welcome to the 2024 Alberta Softball Umpires Association (ASUA) Junior Umpire Clinic! This online clinic is for new umpires, or those returning as Level 1 or 2 Umpires who are looking to learn more about the third team on the diamond - the "Blue Team." This course will cover topics including rules, fair/foul, pitching, umpire signals and more!

For 2024 there are two requirements to become an umpire.

1) THEORY - 2 options as below:

- Option 1: Attend your local zone's IN-PERSON theory clinic. Visit the Softball Alberta website to see when your zone is hosting. This in-person clinic will also satisfy the mechanics requirement as below.

- Option 2: Complete the ONLINE learning modules and quizzes. Complete this registration form to gain access to the modules. Information will be provided to you via email at the time of registration.

2 ) MECHANICS - after successfully completing the online learning modules, you will need to attend your local zone's IN-PERSON mechanics session. This session will give you a chance to practice your signals, plate stance, mechanics and more while learning beside new umpires like yourself! Contact your local zone to register for their mechanics sessions.

We are so excited for you to join the Umpire family! Please reach out if you have any questions: education@asua.ca.
