For field training, dress warm, stretch and bring water. Bring your umpire mask, umpire hat and indicator if you have one. If you don't have this equipment we’ll provide them to you. During this training, you’ll learn where to be on the field to make calls as bases umpire and home plate umpire. This session is being run by head umpires for Redmond West, Redmond North and Kirkland National leagues, with assistance from other experienced, volunteer umpires.
