Only complaint I have about the website John, is that it is not easy to figure out where the course is being held. At least not through the mobile version.

John, did you guys basically take over for O.U.T.S.?

Their final class was in 2017, so for all intensive purposes no, as that was defunct/out of business when I formulated plans for UPC. However, the only similarity we have is the Northwoods League has an exclusive contract for procurement with us, as our course is the only place for umpires to get into the league. Our core instructors and staff are different, as we have staff who are active instructors at both umpire schools. Our training methods are improved, and what we offer for a total student experience is also different and improved. We offer exceptional value for the umpires attending. With all due respect to the staff and anyone associated with the camp you mention, I felt when the Umpire Placement Course was founded, a fresh start would be needed. The Northwoods League, and the steps the league and I have taken, are committed to having the best umpires work, as well as improving certain areas of concern for the umpires. We aren’t just another option. We’re committed to your goals, reasonably and competitively priced, and seeking umpires that desire advanced training methods and options for placement into leagues. We are here to help graduates of the Wendelstedt Umpire School, MiLB Umpire Training Academy, Collegiate Umpires, and others who want to further there careers.

Wanted to drop a note here. We’ve had a few staff additions and changes!

MLB Umpire 53 Greg Gibson will be attending UPC. A 1991 graduate of the Wendelstedt Umpire School, his 19 years of MLB experience will be a great asset for our students  

Matt Brown, MiLB Umpire Training Academy Instructor and AA MiLB Umpire, will be replacing Mark Stewart Jr., who will now be teaching at the Advanced Course.

Have a few updates for those interested:

#93 Will Little has been added to instruct the 3-Umpire System for Days 1 and 2 of the course.

The Supervisor for the Alaska Baseball League will be on site with jobs to fill as well. We have over 30 positions available for next season in the Northwoods League, West Coast League, Pecos League and others, so the opportunity is there for the taking.

If you are an umpire school student, we offer discounted tuition to attend the Umpire Placement Course.
Please feel free to reach out here or via private message with any questions!
