To all District 2 Umpires including potentially New Umpires this year:
The Umpire Development Committee (UDC) of Saskatchewan are looking at hosting a rules forum online at a Level 1-2 and Level 3. The sessions would last no more than an hour. The UDC are prepared to host webinars to engage our umpires during this down time. There is no cost to you. It is therefore requested that each and every one of you contact me by email or phone me at 306-551-3069. I need to know one way or the other if you are interested in such a service. Your deadline to get back to me is Wednesday, May 13.
Again it is imperative that you let me know. With no real start of the season in sight, it was felt this approach would be the best way to engage our umpires. With the current situation that has our softball lives on hold I would encourage all umpires to go online and complete the exam as an additional way to keep yourself engaged. Here is the link that will take you to the umpire exam. Just follow the instructions. These exams are for new and experienced umpires. Just pick your appropriate level. The exam will be online until August 31st. Good luck. http://hosted.onlinetesting.net/SoftballCanada/login
Thanks in advance for your continued support of the Softball Saskatchewan umpiring program.
