HPSAers,
I hope you all enjoyed the holidays and I wish everyone a very Happy New Year.
Softball season is just around the corner. This is a quick note to alert you that there will be a Level 1 and a Level 2 Softball Ontario Umpire Clinic held in Mississauga on sunday, April 22. Both are full one-day clinics. These clinics will be hosted by the Mississauga Umpires Association. Here are all the details:
LEVEL 1 UMPIRE CLINIC – MISSISSAUGA
Date: Sunday, April 22, 2012
Time: 9:00am – 5:00pm (approx)
Location: Clubhouse at Tom Chater Memorial Park, Mississauga
Format: Combination Fast Pitch and Slo Pitch
Cost for members (carded umpires): $90
Cost for non-members: $110
LEVEL 2 UMPIRE CLINIC – MISSISSAUGA
Date: Sunday, April 22, 2012
Time: 9:00am – 5:00pm (approx)
Location: Clubhouse at Tom Chater Memorial Park, Mississauga
Format: Fast Pitch OR Slo Pitch (For Level 2, you must choose one or the other)
Cost for members (carded umpires): $95
Cost for non-members: $115
For anyone who has not yet taken the Level 1 clinic, this is the one you should take, regardless of your level of experience on the diamond. If you have already taken the Level 1 clinic, the Level 2 is the next step for you. The material covered will be more advanced. You should have a fair bit of experience on the diamond. If you have taken either of these clinics before, but would like to take one again as a refresher, you are welcome to do so.
Anyone who is a Certified Level 2 umpire, and is interested in taking the Level 3 clinic, please let me know, and I will forward your info to the appropriate people.
Also, any teenage umpires who are fairly new or just starting, you would benefit from taking a Junior Development or Intermediate clinic. Let me know if you would be interested, and I will help you get set up for that.
NOTE: Softball Ontario expects you to take a clinic every second year to keep your Umpire Certification Level in good standing. Please remember that this is separate from getting registered/carded with Softball Ontario, which needs to be done each year.
Clinic Location
Tom Chater Memorial Park is located at 3195 The Collegeway, just west of Winston Churchill, on the north side of the street. It is in the southwest part of Mississauga. If you are not familiar with this location, please click on the following link to find where it is:

NOTE: A Registration Form for these clinics is attached to this email. There is limited space and participants will be accepted on a “first paid, first served” basis. So please send me your registrations ASAP. Please email or call me in advance of sending it in so that I know to expect it, and I can reserve a spot for you.
Clinic Registration
The Clinic Fee (made payable to the Mississauga Umpires Association) and completed registration form should be sent to:
Mississauga Umpires Association
c/o Howard Kornbluth
- - 50 Kingsbridge Garden Circle
Mississauga, Ontario
L5R 1Y2
On the day of the clinics, you are expected to arrive between 8:30am-8:40am to sign in and get set up. The clinics will start promptly at 9:00am sharp!
Please get back to me ASAP and let me know if you are interested in participating in one of these clinics. The sooner the better folks, as I need to ensure that we have the minimum numbers required in order to make the clinics happen.
- For those of you that run leagues or look after local umpire groups, please spread the word and have people respond to me for more info or to sign up. Feel free to forward this email to anyone you deem appropriate. Thanks.
Yours in Softball,
