Umpiring the basics
Arrive 15-20 minutes before game time.
‘Sign in’ at the control box. Quote your name, club and duty, eg “Hi! Sue Arnett from Raiders for a Div 2 line please.” If you are doing a plate, you will be given the score card. Take this to the diamond with you.
Wear a plain shirt (not Raiders), wear proper sports shoes and hat.
Equipment is available in the changerooms near the canteen – plates: leg and chest guards, face mask and “clicker” are all required. lines: a clicker is recommended. committee members carry clickers you can borrow.
Check on the rules, e.g. infield fly (will not apply in Primary B or Tball), 7-run rule, dead ball and Primary B rules – 10 minute innings, coach pitching
Remember to call the play with a strong voice
Have fun!
