Clinic Staff

“The CBUA Advanced 3-Umpire Clinic in Kansas City is among the absolute best camps/clinics that I’ve ever attended. Highly credentialed clinicians offer outstanding instruction focused on the individual umpires. When considering future D-I staff membership, I fully trust and utilize the recommendations coming to me from the camp staff. I strongly endorse this camp to matriculating college umpires.”

Rich Fetchiet

Conference Coordinator for the Big XII, B1G, AAC, Big East & MAC

"As a mid major coordinator in the CBUA footprint, CBUA instructional clinics are a critical part of the recruiting process of new umpires to the DI level. I know umpires attending these clinics are getting the correct training in mechanics, rules and philosophy. A recommendation coming from the CBUA Clinic Staff can be the key to taking the next step in your umpiring career."
