Are you interested in becoming an umpire for the upcoming baseball season? Boys and girls of any age can learn how to umpire. It’s a great way to get outside and enjoy the game of baseball. Oh, and did we mention make a little money at the same time?
If considering becoming an umpire, here is what you need to do:
The 2025 OBA Umpire Certification is open now. Visit the following link to find out more information about the certification process for new and returning umpires.
Once you have acquired your certification, our Umpire in Chief John Lethbridge takes over from there. Southwest Optimist baseball will offer an on field extra training day, where umpires can get to know him and the senior umpires. They will have the opportunity to ask questions and learn a little more at a relaxed pace.
Once that is complete John will schedule games for the summer. Games for Southwest London Baseball take place at the Westmount and Lambeth area diamonds.
