Ottawa, Ont. - Softball Canada and the Officials Development Committee are pleased to recognize the umpires who successfully achieved their Level IV certification this past summer at one of the following events: the U19 Women’s Canadian Championship, U20 Men’s Canadian Championship, or the Men’s and Women’s Slo-Pitch Canadian Championships.
Please join us in congratulating the following officials on this significant accomplishment:

Level IV Fastpitch Umpires from BC:

Bronwen Marchant, British Columbia

Brittany Lorteau, British Columbia

Achieving Level IV status marks a significant milestone in the high-performance pathway for umpires. "I am very excited to see how this group of officials will continue to give back and grow the program both provincially and nationally" says Frankie Billingsley, National Director of Umpires.


Softball Canada and the Officials Development Committee are pleased to announce those umpires who were successful in achieving their Level V status this past summer at the Men's Fast Pitch Canadian Championship. 

Level V Umpires from BC:

Lucas, Crosby

Level V certification represents the pinnacle of Softball Canada’s domestic umpiring program. Achieving this status requires a deep combination of knowledge, understanding, and skill, demonstrating exceptional competence as an official. With this certification, these umpires are now eligible to attend a WBSC umpire certification seminar, opening the door to international accreditation.
