All umpires are reminded to write the 2022 Softball Canada Umpire Exam. Make sure to select the correct exam for your level, and if you officiate FP and SP, there are two exams to write.

The exam should be written as soon as possible so you are ready for the season. If you don’t know your Umpire Registration Number, don’t worry – enter Zone 4, and we will make sure we get it updated for you

CASUA will need more umpires this year as things open up – we need your help to have enough officials to cover the zone needs.

Help us advertise by downloading this poster and distributing it to places where potential umpires would see it.

Bring someone who hasn’t registered before and save $10 on the registration fee.

Bring more than one person and get an additional $10 off for each additional newbie.
