Umpire Clinics

Umpire Registration Information

You will be able to register on RAMP starting Thursday, MARCH 13.

If you registered before March 13, you will need to go back and redo your registration.  The system was not supposed to allow registration, so the umpire packages were not yet set up if you registered early.

Level 1 & 2 Umpires

Once you complete your registration, you will then need to go into the clinics and camps section and register for a level 1.1 (First year), level 1.2 (second year) or 2.2 online clinic AND an on-field clinic.  The on-field clinics will be updated regularly so check back every couple of days to see if an on-field clinic has been added in your area.  The list of clinics will also be updated on the Baseball Saskatchewan Website also.  Once you have registered, a confirmation email will be sent to you. In that email will be a link to a document with instructions to access your online materials.  Follow the prompts for level 1 or level 2 depending on what clinic you registered for.
