The KDUA services the baseball and fastpitch softball teams of the Chatham-Kent area. From tykes to adults, and from house leagues to travel teams, the KDUA provides qualified and competent officials for all levels.
If you would like to know more about our group, or, to learn more about how to become an umpire with the KDUA, please explore this site.
Want to fill some spare time with a healthy activity and make some extra money doing it?
If you are a young person, player, parent, grandparent or an interested adult, with a passion for baseball and/or fastball, you are exactly the kind of person we are looking for to join the ranks of the Kent District Umpires' Association!
Umpiring is a great way to be active physically and mentally, meet new people, get involved in our community, make some money and provide a much-needed service. We are always in need of more umpires but never more than now. Even if you work and participate in other activities, we will work around your schedule
to the benefit of all.
