SOFTBALL JUNIOR UMPIRES
What does it mean to be an HCYP softball junior umpire?
HCYP rec softball uses our own in-house umpires for our 8U, 10U, and 13U rec games. Eligibility to umpire is based on age, those who are age 13 or older by April 30 of the Spring season. Most of our umpires are current or former HCYP rec or travel softball players. Umpires are paid for each game that they work and the rate paid is determined by the age group (8U, 10U, 13U) and their position (plate, base) during the game.
