Umpires

DYA's youth umpires program is for Dublin students in grades 7-12. 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.
