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 unable 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.
