Players 11 years and older as of April are eligible to join our Umpire Program and be added to our roster of Umpires for Spring Season Games.

Umpire training takes place in February and March, with two key sessions:

• A District 5 clinic for all new and returning umpires
• A Highlands-only follow-up session to cover local rules and expectations

All new and returning umpires are expected to attend both sessions. Notice will be sent out in early spring, or you can email umpires@highlandsbaseball.com to make sure your name is on the list!

Umpiring at Highlands is an excellent opportunity to learn more about the game from a different perspective—and earn some money while supporting your league!

“The best thing about umpiring is seeing the best in baseball every day. The cardinal rule of umpiring is to follow the ball wherever it goes. Well, if you watch the ball, you can’t help seeing somebody make a great catch…That’s what  makes umpiring so much fun.”
