NUCP Clinic Applications 2023

The 2023 Baseball Alberta NUCP Clinic season is fast approaching! We are looking forward to another successful season of Baseball Alberta NUCP Clinics. Associations interested in hosting a Level 1 and/or a Level 2 NUCP Clinic can use the link below to apply.

Link to Application Form: Association Application to Host NUCP Clinics

Hosting a NUCP Clinic will benefit your association by developing local umpires for locally hosted Baseball Alberta league games and Provincial Championships. Once an Association has applied, the Umpire Committee's Clinic Coordinator will process your application and get to work on assigning an instructor team for the clinic.

For more information on hosting a NUCP Clinic at your Association, please contact the Baseball Alberta Programs Coordinator (programs@baseballalberta.com).

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 one 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.

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)
