The Midcoast Umpire Association of Maine will be providing training for interested new members, or individuals looking to learn more about the game of baseball or softball.
The association — serving Knox, Lincoln and Waldo counties since 1956 — assists with providing professional, quality officiating to local baseball and softball teams, grades 7 to 12, as well as to local youth amateur leagues, including Babe Ruth Baseball and Little League Baseball and Softball.
All interested individuals are encouraged to apply. Training and education are provided by veteran umpires using hands on, online, visual and written study resources.
New member separate sessions for baseball and softball training will begin in March.
Due to the pandemic, all training will be provided remotely.
Anyone interested in this challenging and rewarding opportunity are encouraged to register online at midcoastumpires.com under the “Join Us” section, or by contacting Chris Barstow at crbarstow@gmail.com.
