IBL Looking for Umpires

By Jonathan Johnston 03/08/2020, 7:45pm CDT

IBL is providing training through an MYAS umpire clinic this year. The clinic takes place on Saturday April 18th from 9:00 - 11:30am at Fridley High School. The clinic is at NO cost to you and will be paid for by IBL. 

 

This clinic is designed for NEW umpires without any experience or formal training, therefore, if your child has attended this clinic previously IBL will not cover the cost if they wish to attend again. 

 

Training covered: 

  •  Philosophy & Mental Approach
  •  Game Management 
  •  Managing Coaches, Players & Fans
  •  Proper Equipment & Gear

Traveling Tryout Results

TRAVELING TRYOUT RESULTS
We had a great turnout at our tryouts for the 2021 season. All the players gave it their all during the evaluations and it is great to see the program growing each year. We appreciate the help of all the board members, the University of Northwestern evaluators and players to help it run smoothly.

Our teams change year to year with new registrants coming in to the program, advancements in ability due to hard work in the off season, players leaving the program, etc. You may not be at the same level you were last year, you may not be on the team you hoped for, or may not be placed on a traveling team this year. The evaluators give us an honest opinion of where they think each player will have the best opportunity for personal growth and development in their baseball skills.  

For those that were not placed on a traveling team, look for the instructional team registration to open in mid-December.

For those that were placed on a traveling team, we will be sending you a registration link this week.  We are asking that you register, using that link, by Sunday, November 8th in order to secure your spot on the team.
We appreciate everyone’s cooperation and look forward to a positive baseball season in 2021!

Below are the final team placements. Please click on your age to see team formations. As we stated in the emails leading up to tryouts, we had to combine some age groups based on the numbers.  The ages that were combined are 9/10U (to form one 10U team), 11/12U (to form two 12U teams), and 13/14U (to form one 14U team).

After registration is completed on Nov. 8 we will post the final team rosters in SportsEngine

If you have any questions please contact the Traveling Director (via website.ibl.baseball@gmail.com).
