Umpire Clinics
All umpire clinics can be found at bcbua.ca.
NOTE: Regardless of what division, ALL umpires in the GVBA need to be registered with the BCBUA.
One of the benefits of being a member is the ability to register for one of the upcoming umpire clinics. Once you are a member, you may attend as many clinics as you like and all materials are provided and are free. All clinic registrations are done via the BCBUA website by simply choosing the clinic location and date that is desired.
PLEASE NOTE: You must sign up online for the clinic you want to attend. We cannot guarantee that there will be space if you just show up the day of the clinic, so please pre-register.
Some of the GVBA parks pay for their umpire’s membership dues. If this is true in your park, you will still need to pay online and then seek reimbursement from your park.
Umpire Report Forms
Ejection Report Form
In the event that a manager, coach or player is ejected from a game, umpires are required to fill out and submit an Ejection Report within 48 hours of the game. This report must be filed online at the BCBUA website at bcbua.ca.
Incident Report Form
Incident reports can be submitted by anyone involved in a baseball game (on or off the field) that involves a GVMBA team.
An Incident Report is used to report behaviour from any player, coach, manager, or umpire involved in a game that is felt not to be in accordance with the BC Minor Code of Conduct.
Incident Reports should not include complaints of an umpire’s judgment calls or rule interpretations. Incident Reports can be submitted to any GVMBA Board Member and may be reviewed by the Discipline Committee. It is at the discretion of the Discipline Committee Chair to decide on the appropriate course of action to deal with the situation.
Greater Victoria Baseball Association (GVBA) provides direction and support for the BC Minor Baseball program in Greater Victoria.
