SNOA Baseball is a Spring sport in which we provide umpires for NIAA high school games. Training meetings begin the end of January. SNOA uses two umpires for each high school game then adds an additional umpire for all NIAA post-season games. Baseball assignments are a privilege and not a right thus, they will be earned. Umpires new to SNOA will be evaluated to ensure they receive games. Umpires are responsible for providing their own plate and base equipment and uniforms. All umpires must pass a test and are required to attend a set number of meetings to be eligible for NIAA postseason assignments.
