What are the responsibilities and job description for the Seasonal - Baseball/ Softball Umpire position at City of McMinnville?
Umpiring and scorekeeping youth sports is a very fun and rewarding job. You can make a positive impact on the lives of the young athletes of McMinnville. I have players, coaches and parents tell me all the time about the officials that make the game more enjoyable for everyone.
It is the umpire/scorekeepers' responsibility to enforce the rules impartially and control the game so that the players and coaches have a positive experience. Must be able to see, speak, hear, and write clearly. Must be able to read, understand and enforce the rules. We will try to give everyone at least 2 nights of work per week.

Experience as baseball/softball umpire or scorekeeper is not required. We will do training for umpires and scorekeepers prior to the season. Knowledge of the game and rules would be very helpful. Umpires' shirts will be provided.
