The Kiwisox junior umpire programme (J.UMP) was run for the first time in the 2013-14 softball season.

The programme is targeted at 12-18 year olds, it provides opportunities for young umpires to up skill their rules knowledge, as well as receiving weekly mentoring, from our more experienced umpires.

If you are keen to give umpiring a go, talk to one of the umpires down at the ballpark and they will be able to help you out, or you can email [email protected] to register your interest.

The J.UMP programme start around the end of November
