Umpires and Umpire Prospects
The umpire is such an important part of our baseball program that Oswegoland PONY Baseball is starting an umpire school. Umpire school is available to all 2008 active in-house umpires and umpire prospects that will be at least 13 years old by April 1, 2009. Classes will take place once a month and will be between 1 and 2 hours per class. All umpires attending class will receive a voucher card that increases the value of the next game that they umpire by $10. Umpires have the potential to generate 12 voucher cards per year. This is a great opportunity to be the best umpire you can be, and to make an extra $10 per game for every class attended. Our next class is Sunday October 26, 2008 from 7:00-8:30 pm at the Knights of Columbus.
