The CMSUA Umpire Clinic is a well organized training environment for both experienced and inexperienced umpires. You will pass the official umpire exam.
After passing the clinic, if you are able to help to umpire our league play, we would appreciate any help any time. Our leagues start early April and go to the end of June, we operate Monday through Thursday evenings 6:30pm – 8:15pm. Weekend tournaments are available as well.
