Junior - Umpire of the Year Award
The Junior and Senior Umpire of the Year Awards were established in 2007 and aim to recognize the valuable contributions the umpires make to the success of Chatham Minor Baseball.
Although their work may not always be appreciated by those who are on the wrong end of close call, these young men and women aspire to do the best and ensure that the game is played in a fair manner. They work tirelessly to learn not only the rules of the game but how to deal with everyone they may come into contact with during the course of play.
CMBA wishes to recognize the umpires in two classifications; Junior for those who are newer to the “profession” and of course, Senior for those who have more experience in calling games.
CMBA is proud to have such a very strong group of umpires that work our games. We have received numerous compliments from across the Province with regards to the experience out of town teams have had with this group and this is a tribute to their command and professionalism.
