NUCP CLINICS

CLINIC INFORMATION FOR LEVEL 1 AND LEVEL 2 REGISTRANTS

• Clinics will run from 9am - 4pm unless otherwise noted. It is expected that participants begin signing in for the clinic at 8:30am.

• Clinics will contain a half-hour lunch break. Registrants are encouraged to bring a lunch, snacks and drinks.

• Clinics will contain an active portion of the day. Registrants are encouraged to bring comfortable clothing and clean footwear that can be used for activity in a gymnasium.

• Registrants are encouraged to bring their baseball glove and an umpire or catcher mask if they have one.

• Please bring material to take notes with throughout the day.

Can participants attend different level clinics in the same year? For example, take a Level 1 clinic on Saturday and a Level 2 clinic on Sunday.

Registrants are not able to take a NUCP Level 1 and a NUCP Level 2 Clinic in the same calendar year. As of 2016, all provincial associations were required to adopt the new NUCP program. The newly developed program was revised to provide umpires with a consistent training programs throughout the country, and a program that provided a solid foundation for new umpires. The program is outlined as follows:

NUCP Level 1 = 1 Year Program

The Basics

*Level 1 Umpires who are certified and have worked a minimum of 10 games (combination of plate and base) are eligible to register for the NUCP Level 2 certification the following season

NUCP Level 2 = 3 Year Program

Year 1 = Offense

Year 2 = Defense

Year 3 = Game Management

The Baseball Alberta Umpire Committee has made NUCP Level 2 Clinics available to any NUCP Level 1 Umpire who has completed a minimum of 10 games in 2024 (must be a combination of plate and base umpiring) and is looking to advance into NUCP Level 2 in 2025. Please speak to your local Umpire Coordinator to see if you qualify.
