Level 1 and Level 2 Registration is OPEN
Are you a girl or boy age 12 or older? Do you love baseball? Are you looking for a way to earn some money while having fun? (first job?) or are you looking for a way to get more involved in your community? Well, Umpiring with KBA is the answer and is a great way to participate and enhance the youth sports experience. We are looking for enthusiastic individuals to join (or return to) our KBA Umpire Crew in 2022.
Baseball games are scheduled to start in early May and run until September. In addition to regular season games, we are hosting 10 tournaments in 2022! (nine Rep Tournaments and Tokessy Memorial Tournament)
New this year, KBA is excited to offer a specially designed Umpire Development Program for all our umpires. Find the details and perks here: http://www.kanatabaseball.com/content/umpire-training
