• Must possess good understanding of baseball/softball rules and game situation knowledge
• Must pass ZLL Rookie Umpire Test with score of 75% or better in first year
• Annually attend ZLL umpire training as required
• Review and Sign Umpire Waiver Form each year
• Approved by ZLL Umpire Office and remain in good standing with ZLL
