Umpires
The Lethbridge Minor Softball Association is looking for umpires on week nights from May to June. These clinics are for anyone who wants to make some extra cash and watch a ball game at the same time with the best seat in the house!
We are encouraging anyone who is 12 and older that if they are interested they can sign up. All younger participants will also only umpire ages younger than them. This is a prefect PART-TIME JOB where you earn $$$ and develop important personal and professional skills such as teamwork, self-confidence, decision-making and public speaking.

Once a lesson has been completed and the assessment at the end of the lesson has been completed successfully, an email will be sent to the umpire as well as your Provincial Umpire Committee and Softball Canada. After the last lesson, an email with a completion certificate will be emailed to the umpire to show at the Provincial Clinic to the instructors that all lessons are completed.
