Watch Volume 1: Baseball Rules For Parents and New Coaches

Become a teenage umpire

Welcome to Umpire 57 Academy

At Umpire 57 we strive to accomplish the following:

  • We train new coaches the rules of baseball. This allows coaches to better teach the players they work with. It also improves the quality of games for the players and fans. Our seminars are held in-person or remote.

  • We help to educate parents and fans so that they can better enjoy the game. We also strive to help people gain a better appreciation for umpires.

  • We also train teenage aspiring umpires to become certified umpires.

An umpire is cleaning home plate on a baseball or softball field. Behind him, a group of players in white and red uniforms are gathered, with some interacting with a coach. The field is enclosed by a chain-link fence, and there is a grassy area and trees in the background.

Don't ask the umpire to teach you the rules during the game. We can talk in the parking lot after the game.
