Our Mission:
Our goal is to form a group of elite umpires with the desire to
learn and the strife for excellence.
Membership Privileges:
1.
Support
of highly qualified umpires. You will learn
new things through meetings, training courses, and on field experiences.
2. Travel. You will get the opportunities to apply to
go to different places such as the States to umpire in weeklong
tournaments. In most cases, you are
paid $25 - $35 USD per game and your
hotel stay is paid for.
3. Training. We will have meetings and free training days
for all of us to learn from each other.
4. Teaching. Associations may hire us to provide training
for their lower level umpires. You may
apply to instruct or assist in these training courses.
Membership Fee:
Unfortunately, there is always
a cost to do anything these days. Making
long distance phone calls, promoting ourselves, organizing and setting up
meetings, etc. require manpower, time, and money. Membership is $60 per
year.
Who can apply?
Anyone can apply,
but not all applications will be accepted.
Members may be asked to determine the acceptance of an application, but
the final decision will be the judgement of the president. If the application
is rejected, the membership fee will be refunded (that is the only
circumstances where membership fee will be refunded.) If during the season the umpire do not fulfill his/her duties to the standard of the president, he/she maybe released without a full or partial refund of the membership fee. This includes, but not limited to: not showing up to games on time, refusing to officiate assigned games, or attend mandatory meetings.
Each member must
attend at least ONE meeting or training course per year. This requirement will not only allow each of
us to improve but also provide consistency between all Canadian Blues.
