We encourage anyone who is interested in fastpitch softball umpiring, to attend these free sessions. We cover all the basics: rules, making calls, positioning, mechanics. Attendance to each weekly session is mandatory for all new umpires, as these sessions qualify for the practical portion of the umpire certification process.
