NBUA Umpires
I hope that everyone has had a good start to their season. I know that everybody is very busy with lots of games but I have arranged for an in-season 3-man training session. We are very lucky to have Michael Goebel and Steve Hilgendorf graciously give their time and knowledge to make us better umpires. The session will be APRIL 24th, 6:30-8:30pm at the Richmond Beach King County Library, 19601 21st Ave NW, Shoreline, WA 98177.
The first priority is to ensure that all scheduled games are covered on this day, so please be flexible. We all want to improve our game, but we must make sure our customers games are covered. I will do my best to record the session and post it at NBUA.net.
I really appreciate the great work everyone is doing on the field. If you have any questions, so not hesitate to contact me.

Final session for the new NBUA umpires and returning C Tier umpires before the season starts for real. Peer evaluations will be discussed and you will be introduced to our assignor Leslie Fitzpatrick. Hopefully you already know the first rule of the NBUA which is, “Don’t piss off Leslie!”
The exact location of this class has yet to be determined

A & B Tier Cages
2018-02-24 14:00 - 16:00 | Northshore Sports Complex, 14220 NE 193rd Pl, Woodinville, WA, 98072, United States
A, B and Tournament Tier cage work. Bring all necessary protective gear and a few catcher’s mitts.

Apprentice & C Tier Cages
2018-02-24 12:00 - 14:00 | Northshore Sports Complex, 14220 NE 193rd Pl, Woodinville, WA, 98072, United States
Possibly the most valuable training we get all year is the few hours we get to spend in the batting cages before the season. Here we use pitching machines to simulate real pitches and we get behind a “catcher” and make the calls under the supervision of our peers. Be sure to bring and to wear all appropriate safety gear for this one. In addition, a few gloves are always nice to have around.

Annual Business Meeting
2018-02-24 07:30 - 11:00 | Kentridge High School, 12430 SE 208th, Kent, WA, 98031, United States

Test Review
2018-02-21 18:30 - 20:30 | Overlake Christian Church, 9900 Willows Rd NE, Redmond, WA, 98062, United States
All Tiers are invited to this one where we all get together and review the test questions for the WOA test that everyone must pass before they can be assigned to High School games. You can go ahead and figure these things out for yourself or you can watch the greatest minds in the NBUA puzzle them out.
This will be held in room #3 upstairs

Federation Rules Night
2018-02-20 18:30 - 20:30 | Shoreline Conference Center, 18560 1st Ave NE, Shoreline, WA, 98155, United States
All Tiers are invited to this one. Every year we study the Official Baseball Rules (OBR) and every year we gather together on one hallowed night to listen to Tim Stevens explain to us the weird and strange differences that we will be expected to understand while working High School games. Tim is our guru who works with the Washington Officials Association (WOA). At the very least, you have to show up to this one to pick up your latest copy of the National Federation of High Schools (NFHS) rule books. It’s always an entertaining show.
Please Steve, this year, tell us that balks will be live!
It will be held in the Shoreline Room at the north end of the complex. (see map)
