USA Softball honors its umpires in a variety of ways based upon years of service, experience, & accomplishments. The men & women in blue can become a part of the Elite Program, the Medals Program, and/or the National Indicator Fraternity, earn World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC) Certification, or even be enshrined in the National Softball Hall of Fame. Below are details on each of these honors and a list of those umpires in each who are or have been a part of our program in North Dakota.
