Calling All Potential Umpires

Windsor-Essex is in dire need of umpires.

You don’t need any experience; we will train you. Anyone turning 11 this year (born in 2013) or older can be an umpire. We especially need “mature” umpires to work the older age groups. This is a great part time job for the summer. Our Umpire in Chief (UIC) will work around your schedule, and you can work as many games as you’d like.

For those not familiar with WE Umps - we schedule umpires for Travel (Rep) games for several baseball organizations in the Windsor area, in addition to umpires for the Windsor Hawks House league.  If you are interested in umpiring for Tecumseh house league or Windsor South Canadians, we are happy to make introductions to those amazing UICs as well.  We are all working together to make sure all games in Windsor are covered and kids are enjoying the game.

We are hosting two In-Person Clinics:

Saturday April 13th 10:00 - 2:00

or

Saturday April 27th 10:00 - 2:00

Clinics will be held in the gym at:

Holy Names Catholic High School

1400 Northwood St.

Windsor

Clinic fees are $25 for level 1 umpires and $45 for level 2. More information regarding umpire certification can be found on the Baseball Ontario Website at the following link.

If you’re interested or for more information please contact our UIC, Mari Otero-Jones, at whacumpires@gmail.com.

Get your Hawks gear, show your colours and wear it proud.

Our uniform portal is open once again for those who have not ordered their uniforms. This is the last chance for those registered travel (rep) players to place their order. Any registered player who has not purchased their uniform will be unable to play and they will not receive a refund for registration costs already paid.
