Make a difference in your community. Become a volunteer umpire. Give 2 hours out of your week back to our children.
There is a national shortage of umpires at ALL levels of baseball. As such, the quality of "paid" officiating is poor, the cost is prohibitive, and to rely on "paid" umpires means accepting tardiness or a game-time no-show. Such suspense impacts our children's enjoyment of the game.
Banneker City is creating a new narrative. We want umpires that know our kids' names, train annually, pass background checks annually, dress in officiating attire, are properly equipped, knows the rules of play, and are good with kids.
