Umpire Clinics 2023
If you are a returning umpire or are looking to become one, we have an update for you! Apologies for hitting up everyone’s inbox with this but we have had a lot of people express interest over the last few weeks and we want to ensure that nobody misses out. As everyone knows we struggle for umpires at every age group, the more people we can get certified the better! BCBUA, the organization that oversees certification within the province, has posted clinic registrations on their website www.bcbua.ca for Level 1 and Level 2 umpires. ALL umpires, new or returning, are required to renew their BCBUA membership each year. This membership puts you in good-standing with BCBUA and provides you the ability to register for free for the Level 1 & 2 clinics.
All NEW umpires must attend the Online and the In Person clinic.
Returning certified umpires are only required to write the online exams in order for certification each year so long as they are staying in the Level they are certified for.
All second year Level 2 umpires who did Defensive rules last year at the clinic must attend the Offence clinic this year in order to get their full Level 2 certification
The requirement for Level 3 and above is limited but should your umpire be interested it would be best to reach out to the local BCBUA rep for more info.
When you sign up/renew your membership on the BCBUA website you will then have access to see what clinics are available. As of TODAY for Victoria there are Level 1 clinics booked on Feb 25 & March 4 and Level 2 clinic on March 11. These in person clinics will cover both plate and base umpiring.
BCBUA membership fees will be reimbursed by your home park (with proof of receipt) after completing 4 games for us this spring.
Level 1 clinics are for those that are new to umpiring and those that will be umpiring at the 11U and 9U divisions (60’ diamonds with no leadoffs).
Level 2 clinics are for umpires that will be umpiring at the 13U and higher divisions. There are leadoffs and balks at these levels. Minimum age for level 2 is 14 years old. (BC Minor rules state that an umpire must be 1 division removed from the division they are umpiring i.e. must be 15U-aged to umpire at 13U division)

Fall Ball 2021
Fall Ball Registration Is Open
Fall Ball Season 2021.
A bridge between the 2021 and 2022 Spring seasons. Fall ball is a shortened season of approximately 8-9 games weather depending, from early September to mid/late October. As you can expect, the dates, timings and locations are all TENTATIVE at this point so please be patient as we work those details out. Once confirmed, we will be sending out more information.
**When registering, you register for the division you played in during the Spring season. If you are coming from Little league, sign up as a new player.
With the daylight limited at that time of year, most if not all games will be on the weekend. With limited space and daylight on the weekend, the 13U and 15U divisions may also play night games under the lights at Lambrick Park during the week.
**Please note that NOT every registered player will receive a hat as part of their registration. To keep the cost down for our members, we do not provide a new hat if you played the spring season. During registration, you will have the option to select “I played spring ball and have a hat” or choose the hat size you need if you choose the latter and are in need of a hat because you lost it or if you didn’t play spring ball, you would have the choice to purchase a hat during the registration process.
