This is the Link for the 2025 in person Field Camp application form so you can hyperlink it to the above link on the website.
In-Person Field Camp Application
Umpires
Enhanced Online Training
- We are continuing with the hybrid online training component and in-person field camps to provide more accessible learning opportunities for umpires. This addition aims to offer flexibility and convenience for participants. Details on this training are covered in Become an Umpire.
On-Field Focus
- In response to feedback and to optimize practical skills development, we have separated the classroom clinic component to the online learning and the practical component to 4-hour, on-field-only training sessions. This adjustment allows for a more hands-on approach and aims to better prepare umpires for real-game scenarios.
Official’s Qualifications
Registered Officials Must:
- Register via RAMP
- Complete Online Training
- Pay a $30.00 registration fee
Certified Officials Must:
- Register via RAMP

To be eligible to umpire at a provincial championship in Saskatchewan, an umpire must be a Certified Official, which means they must have completed BOTH the online learning and an in-person umpire camp.
Key Objectives for 2025 and forward
Accessible Basic Training
- Our primary goal is to make basic umpire training accessible to individuals across the province. By offering online training, we aim to facilitate registration and provide foundational knowledge to a wider audience of potential officials
Encourage On-Field Clinic Participation
- With the reduction of on-field clinic time commitments to 4 hours, we hope to encourage more participants to attend. This shift aims to make it more convenient for individuals to enhance their practical skills, fostering a more confident and capable officiating community.
- Please be aware that the in-person on-field camp does not replace the online learning. The online learning is a required component of the certification process.
Baseball Sask Umpire Clothing & Hats
- We have teamed up with a new Uniform supplier for all your umpire uniform essentials! Whether you’re in need of shirts, hats, jackets, or top-notch umpire equipment, Atlantic Baseball Officials Supplies has everything you need to look and perform your best on the field.
