North Shore Baseball Association (NSBA) is seeking new adult and youth umpires for the 2025 season. If you are interested, please read below for more details. Previous or current Little League umpires are welcome to sign up as well!
Clinics will be a combination of online and in person for 2025.
- Online clinics you can filter for them (if any) on the clinics web page: https://page.spordle.com/baseball-b-c/clinics
- In person training for officials will be held by NSBA on Sunday, February 23, 2025 at Collingwood Secondary School – Gym (70 Morven Drive, West Vancouver, BC). Level 1 officials will attend at 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM and Level 2 officials will attend at 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM.
In-person clinic registration can be found on the NSBA website here: https://northshorebaseball.ca/umpires/
For returning officials, please note that you need to attend 2 separate Level 2 clinics (Offense and Defense, both online and in-person) in subsequent years to be fully qualified.
If you are an experienced Little League umpire or have other relevant experience, please reach out to umpirecoordinator@northshorebaseball.ca in order to determine whether you might pursue an accelerated path including completion of a Level 2 clinic.
NSBA will reimburse the BCBUA membership fees for any umpires who complete at least 5 assignments in 2025. Keep in mind that you must be at least one age-group older than the games you will be officiating (for example, 18U aged or older umpires will be assigned to 15U games, etc.), and we need adult umpires to officiate any 18U baseball games. Umpiring is a great way to stay involved in the game and improve rule knowledge for both adults and youth!
There are multiple ongoing clinics now through the end of March 2025. Additional clinics are likely to be added in March. If you are unable to attend the NSBA clinics, you can attend a nearby clinic in order to get the practice on the field. Please complete the registration process on the BCBUA website and register for a clinic which works for you.
