Become an Umpire in Kansas

To become a baseball umpire in Kansas, you must follow specific steps to get started. Here’s a breakdown of what you need to know:

Registration:

All umpires must register with the Kansas State High School Athletic Association (KSHSAA). Once you pay your dues, you’ll be provided with login information to access the official section of the KSHSAA website.

Exams and Training:

Umpires must pass a rules exam and attend an annual rules meeting to stay updated on any changes or updates.

Game Assignments:

Once registered, umpires can log into the KSHSAA website to find game assignors for high schools in their area. Postseason assignments are handled directly by KSHSAA, and only registered officials are considered. Game assignments are managed by league commissioners using ArbiterSports software.

Fees and Dues:

Expect to pay registration fees to both your local association and the KSHSAA. These fees cover essential resources like rule books and exam preparation materials. They also contribute to the administration and resources necessary for officiating.
