Thank you for your interest in the WABUA Online Learning Program! The course consists of three main parts:
1. Rules Course: Modules are released each Monday and Wednesday. You may complete them at your own pace. Each module includes a quiz that requires a minimum score of 80% to advance. You’ll have two attempts to achieve this score. After completing the Rules Course, you’ll move on to the Mechanics portion.
2. Mechanics Course: This portion includes two online modules followed by on-field instruction. The on-field test will be scheduled at a later date. (Note: This will not prevent you from joining WABUA.) The on-field portion is mandatory for all Provisional Umpires.
3. Weekly Check-ins: Every Monday, before new modules are released, there will be a live check-in with all prospective students. You must attend at least two of the three check-ins to be considered for candidacy.
After Passing All Exams Upon successful completion of all portions, you will be designated as a Provisional Umpire for your first two baseball seasons.
If you have any questions about the course or the candidacy process, please contact us at worcumpires@gmail.com
Please note: We do not recommend officiating any games until you have been formally approved by the WABUA Board.
