Umpires are a key part of the baseball season. PRMBA has paid umpires who need to be certified through the BC Baseball Umpires Association.
If you are interested in becoming an umpire and attending the clinics, please go to www.BCBUA.ca to register as a member and pay the membership fee. Our clinics are then free for BCBUA Members. Stay tuned for the announcement of our spring 2026 clinics.
As of 2024, BC Baseball Umpire Association requires all Officials 19 and older to have a criminal record check which is included with registration.
If you are returning as an umpire or thinking of giving it a try, there are two things you can do:
1. Please email umpire@prmba.org with your name, age and contact information, as well as a brief description of your past experience if you have any. This will allow us to determine numbers and fill umpire requirements for each age group. Depending on numbers, we may have to create a waitlist.
2. Once we hear from you, we will reply and let you know if you have a spot in the clinics. We will then ask you to go to BCBUA's registration page by clicking here and register as an umpire with their organization. You will pay the annual membership fee (price depends on age, $60 max).
Once we announce the clinics, you will be able to go online and register for them. Stay tuned for more information to come.
