PFX Athletics is proud to introduce its Umpire Academy (est. 2018). The Umpire Academy is designed specifically for new umpires who want to learn the essentials of umpiring fastpitch softball. Our goal is to develop the FUNdamentals of umpiring so that we can help young umpires break into the collegiate fastpitch softball game.
The PFX Athletics Umpire Academy combines the latest technology with the greatest minds in the sport of collegiate softball. Courses are held on site and online and include a mentorship component both at the events and after. Once participants complete the course, they will continue to enjoy the camaraderie and resources our advisory board and graduates offer.
If that’s not enough, we have figured out how to make the Umpire Academy affordable for participants by partnering with local youth softball programs, as part of the Academy, so that our umpire students are PAID to learn the game.
