Softball Umpire - $33/Game - Educational Benefits Provided

Underdog Sports Leagues is looking for referees for our adult (21 and over) softball leagues. We love hiring people who are interested in learning, so we offer college scholarships, student loan reimbursement and contributions to 529 college savings plans for our umpires.

We certify our own umpires, so if you don’t have experience umpiring, that’s not a hinderance for us. We have made many people who have never officiated a game over the years into great umpires.

We run our leagues January through September on nights and weekends, so this is not just a seasonal job, but one that will have hours most of the year. We also offer the ability to train as a flag football referee to make sure you have hours year-round.

Here’s what we offer:

Underdog’s Educational Program: After working 100 hours in a calendar year, we offer $500 to go towards your choice of:

College Tuition

Student Loan Debt*

Your child’s 529 educational savings plan*

(*a small number of vested hours are required before debt or 529 becomes a choice)

Flexible Scheduling: You will have the opportunity to block out times and dates where you are not available, and we won’t schedule you for those block outs.

The number of hours you work is also flexible. Some umpires want 4 hours a week, some want 15-20. As long as you’re able to communicate that with us, we’re able to work with your schedule.

$33 a game: Games are scheduled every 1.5 hours and you will generally get 2-3 games for a weeknight shift and between 3 and 5 games for a weekend shift.

Bonuses for continuing referee education

The ability to become certified in multiple sports (after your initial sport certification)
