DYA Youth Baseball and Softball Umpires
DYA's youth umpires program is for boys and girls age 13 and older. There are three classifications of umpires, based on experience and attendance at training clinics. These are paid positions with umpires earning up to $19 per game plus bonus. In general Class 1 umpires work Bronco Minor and Softball Minor games. Class 2 umpires work Bronco Minor, Bronco Major, Softball Minor, and Softball Major games. Class 3 umpires work Bronco Major, Softball Major, Junior Pony, and Softball Senior games.
| Umpire Classification | Experience | Base Pay | Bonus |
| Class 1 | First year umpire or umpires with fewer than 10 games of DYA experience | $15 per game | None |
| Class 2 | Second or third year umpire with 10 or more games DYA experience** | $17 per game* | $25 if work more than 20 games with no misses |
| Class 3 | Third year umpire with 25 or more games DYA experience** |
$19 per game* | $25 if work more than 20 games with no misses |
*Umpires are paid $15.00 at the game. The difference, along with any bonus earned, is paid at season's end. Umpires who fail to show for a scheduled game forfeit their right to any season bonus, regardless of the number of games worked.
**Umpires must attend clinics each year prior to the start of the season to be eligible for promotion in level and pay, regardless of experience. Umpires may be promoted a maximum of one class in a 12-month period.
Clinics are conducted by Mr. Dan McGinnis, Central Ohio Umpires' Association.
To register to umpire, stop by the DYA office during baseball sign-ups.
