Umpire Cadet
Cadet umpire training is for anyone interested in becoming an umpire or renewing their status in New Jersey. UUASNJ cadet umpire training classes contain many men and women with varying levels of baseball and softball umpire experience and knowledge. In New Jersey, a cadet is a trainee who attends an umpire cadet class. Some cadets come to us having never called a ball or strike. Some cadets have graduated from professional umpire schools, been former professional baseball players, or are former high school head coaches. Other cadets have been former college players, current and former high school players, college and high school students. 
You might have a lot of experience as an umpire, or you may have never set foot on a field as an baseball or softball umpire or never played a baseball game.
In either case, if you wish to umpire high school baseball or softball games in southern New Jersey, regardless of your background you must begin as a cadet, complete the cadet classes and pass the New Jersey state exam.
