Start by Getting the Training You Need
Starting on a path to professional umpiring is a lot easier than you think. Getting trained at an ​umpire school is the first step you need to take if you want to fulfill your dream of becoming a professional umpire.​
​
You'll want to have had some past playing or umpire experience, preferably both. But, the fact of the matter is that getting into an umpire school is a lot easier that you think. In fact, our recommendation is to​ not worry about it and make sure you select the right umpire school for you.​

Many first time umpire school attendees have little to no experience on the field. Experience helps but is not a pre-req.​​
- EXPERIENCE -
Getting work after you finish training is just as important as your schooling. Meet people while at your training sessions and stand out to the instructors. That will give you a leg up.​
