If you are interested in becoming an Umpire for EGFA we will reimburse you for your Umpire Registration Fee after your fourth officiated ballgame.  This is also eligible for our CSL program.  EGFA will also provide the use of the Umpire gear.  In order to become an official Umpire the following description must be performed (this can be found at http://www.minnesotaasa.com/umpires).

The ASA umpire program is among the nation's largest officiating organizations with over 35,000 officials actively involved each year. ASA officials are nationally recognized as the best trained and proficient in the sport and are involved in competition starting with league play, city, state and national championships. Ultimately, ASA umpires could officiate events such as world championship, Pan American and Olympic competitions.

The ASA annually hosts local, state and national umpire clinics which literally blanket the nation and bring the best instruction available in the sport to every region. Over the last decade, the Amateur Softball Association's umpire program has become an innovator in the production of quality training materials. When a clinic is not available - videos, books, slides and other instructional aids allow instruction to continue.
