The spring baseball season starts soon, and umpires are needed for the season. If there are not enough umpires, not all of the games will be staffed.
No experience is needed, and those who umpire will be trained and will receive help in finding equipment and uniforms. Those with a baseball background — players, coaches and fans – are encouraged to participate.
Those who umpire also earn extra income. Games are weeknights at 5:30 or 6 p.m. and all-day Saturday.
An umpire clinic will be held on Sunday, April 14 at 9 a.m. at Sun Valley Regional Park. Cost is a $10 donation. Lunch will be provided. RSVP or for information, call Chris Whitbeck at 775-846-0822 or cwhitbeck@att.net.
