In-House rules will be updated soon.

New umpires please attend the meetings noted to the right.  Those who require or request an individual training time can have a session scheduled with the Umpire-In-Chief once they are hired.  For new umpires, MAYBA provides basic equipment including, mask, chest protector, shin guards, shirt, brush, counter, rules and cards.  Umpires should wear dark pants, dark shoes, and a dark colored non-logo hat.

New Umpires - we will hold our initial meeting on Sunday, April 27th, 2025 at 3:00 p.m. at the MAYBA Warehouse.  We will review rules and answer questions.  We will also have paperwork turn-in (bring your completed W4 and MN W4).  We will issue equipment as needed. If you have MAYBA equipment and it needs repair or replacement, please bring it along.  Returning umpires are invited to attend to help answer questions and review real-life scenarios for new umpires. NOTE: If you were unable to attend this meeting, but are interested in umpiring, you are welcome to attend our on-field meeting at Rosa Parks Community Fields Sunday, May 4th at 4:00 p.m.
