OSAA in ‘urgent’ need of high school baseball, softball umpires

WILSONVILLE, Ore. – The Oregon Athletic Officials Association (OAOA) and the Oregon School Activities Association (OSAA) are recruiting officials for the high school spring sports seasons. 

Registration for new officials opened this week and there is an immediate need for umpires in baseball and softball.

 Becoming a high school official has several benefits including staying involved in athletics, maintaining good physical condition, and earning money – on average $80 for each game officiated.

 “Oregon has an urgent need for officials in all sports,” OAOA executive director Jack Folliard said. “Officials provide valuable service to high schools and students, make a positive impact in the community and build relationships.”
