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:

 

LEVEL 1 IS A TWO YEAR PROGRAM

Year 1 = Offense

Year 2 = Defense

 

LEVEL 2 IS A THREE YEAR PROGRAM

Year 1 = Offense

Year 2 = Defense

Year 3 = Game Management

 

Students are now required to attend two years at Level 1 and three years at Level 2. It is expected that students attend each session in each level prior to advancing to Level 3.

A student can only take one level in any calendar year. If you need to ask for an exception, contact the Baseball Alberta office (programs@baseballalberta.com)
