VIRTUAL LEARNING 2021
As noted in last week's Inside Pitch, 2021 will be a year of virtual learning and certification for Baseball Ontario's Umpire Development and Coach Development programs!
Umpires:

LEVEL 1 & LEVEL 2:
  • Local associations will apply to host a clinic as usual, if they haven't already
  • Umpires will register for their association's clinic
  • Once the Local Association is confident that their umpires are registered, they will let Baseball Ontario know, and Baseball Ontario will provide a login and password to the umpires to complete the online e-learning modules.
  • Baseball Ontario will reconcile the clinic, applying the host deposit against the fees incurred for the umpires registered by the association.
  • The host will be responsible for collecting the fees from their umpires directly.
 
Course Completion
  • Once all the umpires have completed the self-directed modules, the Local Association's clinic will be reconciled on the Baseball Ontario website. 
 
Certification Fees
  • Level 1 certification fee will be $15 
  • Level 2 certification fee will be $25

LEVEL 3 & LEVEL 4/5:
  • We are extremely excited about our virtual SuperClinic event! Stay tuned for details coming in next week's Inside Pitch!
Coaches:
On December 17th coaches were sent an email outlining the certification they hold. Based on the level being coached in 2021, coaches can determine what certification, if any, they will need in preparation for the season. All NCCP clinics will be offered via online delivery for 2021, and coaches can register through their online profile.
