Who We Are
The Saskatoon and District Baseball Umpires’ Association (SDBUA) provides trained baseball umpires
for all levels of amateur baseball in the City of Saskatoon (and the surrounding area when requested).
This includes all league, tournament and exhibition games, as well as playoff games including Baseball
Sask playoff competitions.
We see our mission to be the recruitment and training of officials within the scope and guidelines of the
umpire development programs of Baseball Sask. and Baseball Canada. An addition to our mission is the
retention of officials who have been a part of our program. As such, we participate, both as recipients and
instructors, in all necessary Umpire Development Clinics authorized by Baseball Sask and Baseball
Canada. When the need arises, we may also plan and organize other umpire development opportunities.
A key element of our umpire development program is the Lou Stotsve Young Umpire Mentorship
Program. This program endeavours to provide mentors to foster the development of young officials. Our
priority is mentoring at the 11U level and, when the number of mentors permit, to mentor officials at 13U
and higher.
As part of our commitment to fulfill these objectives, we also maintain memberships in:
- The Saskatoon Baseball Council Incorporated (SBCI) as an associate member.
- The Baseball Sask Provincial Umpires’ Committee.
Membership within the SDBUA is open to: - All active members who have fulfilled the requirements of the SBA umpire program and who
have chosen to umpire games within Zone 6 (Saskatoon) - Any non-active umpires who currently are involved in the mentorship program.
- Any individuals who have been designated “Honourary Members” by the SDBUA Executive.
The SDBUA Executive Committee consists of the President, Vice President and Directors are nominated
and elected, bi-annually. Executive meetings are held regularly. Such meetings are open to any interested
SDBUA member, or other invited guests.
