If you want more intense training than we offer in Spokane on a weekly basis, a USA Softball National Umpire School is the way to go.
2020 schools and camps have finished or been canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
A list of 2021 schools and camps will be available around the first of the year and will be linked here on the USA Softball of Idaho District 8 (Spokane) website at spokanewasoftball.com.
