Innovation in Training
Ready to Take Your Game to the Next Level?
Program of Instruction
Our umpiring curriculum includes comprehensive classroom discussion of mechanics and techniques, NCAA Rules and CCA Mechanics, The Strike Zone, Handling Situations, Communication, Philosophy of Plate and Base Work, and Field Work and Drills.
Students develop advanced thinking methods and methodologies for recognition of play development with a specialized focus on non-routine and unexpected variations.
This innovative instruction prepares umpires to work three-man mechanics at the highest level of NCAA baseball. Students will be taught the learning techniques to become leaders and crew chiefs in their local associations and how to elevate their game at all levels of organized baseball. This intense and professional approach to the instruction of advanced three-man umpire mechanics is augmented with live game assignments with evaluations of on-field performance.
Instructors
Our staff comprises former and current professional umpires and postseason-caliber collegiate umpires. Division I and III umpire assignors will be in attendance, working with umpires to elevate their game.
You will learn from accomplished umpires, teaching the techniques required to excel when working a 3-umpire game. These umpires are dedicated to sharing the skills and techniques that have made them successful at the game’s highest levels.
