Returning from Absence

Umpire Parent Meeting

BOMBA has historically held a meeting for all New Umpires and their parents. This is designed to give you a review of our online booking system called “Ramp”, introduce you to your contacts and to review responsibilities and ask questions.

A revision is being made for the 2024 season. As BOMBA roles out the new equipment program, we will be in touch with all newly registered umpires regarding a date for the Equipment handout and the general information.  

More specific details will be sent to you before your clinic.
