Turtle Club
Baseball and Softball is hosting two umpire clinics the weekend of April 20/21,
2024 – one for baseball (SAT), and the other for softball. The softball clinic
is divided into two sessions – one for umpires older than 16 (SAT), and another
for umpires 16 and under (SUN).
The softball umpire
clinic is a Softball Ontario umpire clinic being held at Turtle Club Park on
Saturday, April 20, 2024 for individuals older than 16 seeking Level 1
certification, and on Sunday, April 21, 2024 for youth participants aged 16 and
under. Each of these clinic sessions is scheduled for 9am to 4pm. The cost of the
clinic is $60 payable online via the Softball Ontario website. Pre-registration
(see below) is required. Registered participants are to arrive 30 minutes
before the start of the clinic session (8:30am). The clinic is strongly
recommended for those seeking umpire opportunities in the club’s travel
softball program (LaSalle Athletics Softball), including tournaments, as well
as the club’s house league and select softball programs, either this season or
in future seasons.
The baseball
umpire clinic is a Baseball Ontario Developing Umpire Camp being held at
Villanova High School Gym on Saturday, April 20, 2024, starting at 9am and
ending around 1pm. The camp is a required part of the certification process for
Level 1 and 2 umpires. A maximum of 40 participants, seeking either Level 1 or
Level 2 certification, may attend this camp. Pre-registration (see below) is
required. The cost of the camp is $25 for Level 1 or $45 for Level 2, payable
by CASH ONLY at the beginning of the event. Registered participants are to
arrive 30 minutes before the start of the camp (8:30am). The camp is strongly
recommended for those seeking umpire opportunities in the club's travel
baseball program (LaSalle Titans Baseball), older divisions in the club's house
league program, and/or in the club's select program, either this season or in
future seasons. The camp is not required for those seeking umpire opportunities
ONLY in younger divisions in the club's house league program (in-house training
will be provided) but would still be of great benefit to those individuals, and
is suggested for them.
