Umpire Certification?

Question
Do the umpires at a 14u C-League game have to be certified?  At my game the other night the umpire was about 16 or 17 and had no clue what she was doing. Our coach and the other coach had to tell her all the rules and clarify things for her.  The umpire wasn't really doing much except calling the ball and even before the game she asked us what the strike zone was. So do the umpires have to be certified?

Hi Becca,

that's my daughter's name only Beka.

Umpires are usually but not always registered, that means sending in your money to get a card and a rule book.  Some orgs provide no training, others have some clinics and a test.  It all depends on the org and the assoc
