Umpires

General Umpire Information

GYS provides an opportunity for boys and girls 12 years and older to apply to be an umpire for both baseball and softball. We look for experienced baseball and fast pitch players who have a strong knowledge of the game and have been a part of the GYS program. Assignments are based on age, experience, attitude, and responsibility. 

All umpires are expected to attend a training session in April before the season begins, and be available during the season May to early July.

If you have any questions, please e-mail the GYS Umpire Coordinator at umpire@greenvilleyouthsports.com.
