KALL UMPIRES PAGE

*****************

This year we will be using our new online system for registering umpires and assigning them to games. Here's how to get on the system.

Go to the Donate/Volunteer page of KALL Online. Go to the middle of the page and click the link that says "I want to sign up as an official."
On the following page you will be asked, "Have you signed up with KALL On-Line before?" If you have a child playing in KALL this year the answer is "Yes." Otherwise click "No". Choose the proper button and press the "Continue" button.
IF YOU CLICKED "YES" ABOVE (because you already have an account) SKIP THIS STEP: Fill out the form that follows to create an account in the system. You must do this before you can volunteer.
You should now be at the page titled "Official Registration." Fill out the simple form. Use the "Special Requests" field to indicate information you think the umpire-in-chief might need to know. Press "Continue."
On the ensuing thank-you page select the "KALL Home Page" link. This is the page you see whenever you log in to KALL Online. On this page select the "Your page" tab at the top. You'll see a new item there called "Officials", with your name under it and a link that says "Edit Official." Later, once the umpire-in-chief has approved your application, there will be another link that says "View / Search Schedule." Fill out the search form to see upcoming games and your assignments,.
