More GYB Umpire Information

Do you have what it takes to make the right call? Umpire Training Clinics will be conducted before the season starts. The date and location will be finalized during March . If you have umpired in the past, you will be notified of the dates and times.  In addition, please check this website for updates.

The intent of the Umpire Program is to provide an opportunity for interested players to develop baseball umpiring skills and build characteristics that will help them in their future careers. Past experience as an umpire is not required but an understanding of the rules is needed. Umpires are paid a fee for the games they work.

Typically two umpires are scheduled for each game.

Gurnee Youth Baseball does have a minimum age requirement of 14 years (prior to start of the season) to be considered.  First Day of the Spring Season is May 1, first day of Fall Season is September 1st.

Gurnee Youth Baseball appreciates the work of our umpires to keep the games fair, safe, and fun. If you have any questions, please contact the GYB Umpire in Chief -- Dave Schopf (dschopf@gurneeyouthbaseball.org).
