These are the things you must do to become an umpire in the BVSUA:<\/p>\n
The clinic is where you learn the mechanics<\/em> of umpiring. This includes the proper way to make call & enforce rules; proper positioning for making calls; how to communicate with other umpires; and division of responsibilities during a game. The BVSUA prides itself on having the best umpires in the entire state – it is during these clinics that the foundation for this excellence is laid.<\/p>\n The dues are collected by the local association to pay for your membership as a BVSUA umpire. Also, note, dues are are $20\/Season.\u00a0 Which means you only pay dues during the season you work unless you are a board member.\u00a0 All Board members pay a lump sum of $60\/year to the local association during the first season of the year.<\/p>\n For softball, official uniform consists of an official USA hat, official USA shirt, dark navy-blue slacks or ‘coaches shorts’, all black athletic shoes, ball\/strike indicator, plate brush. For Basketball, Flag Football & Volleyball, official uniform is a black & white striped shirt, black shorts, no show socks and athletic shoes.\u00a0 For kickball, official uniform consists of camo shirt, black shorts\/slacks (‘Dockers’ type is fine), black cap, black shoes, no show socks.<\/p>\n Note that the requirements of the field clinic, rules test, & dues must be met every year – all the umpires in the BVSUA must attend clinics, take the test (if applicable), and pay the dues to be eligible to call games during that year.<\/p>\n The pay rates for Bryan & College Station city league games (which make up the bulk of the games officiated by the BVSUA) are under contract. The pay rate under the current contract (2023) is:<\/p>\n $20\/game (no annual clinic) $30.00\/$52.50<\/span> 10U\/12U\/14U\/16U<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n This table assumes 2 officials per field\/court per game. The rate for 1 official calling games is topped at $30\/game; except for girl’s FP.<\/p>\n Note that the pay raises for softball from year to year are not<\/strong> automatic. In order to receive the raise, you must meet all requirements and<\/strong> receive two good evaluations from the Training & Evaluation Committee.\u00a0 After these have been met, your pay increase will come into effect the beginning of the new year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" How do I become a BVSUA official?
