Umpire, Referee & Officiating in Kenosee Park, SK
Kenosee Park needs umpires, referees, and officials — and the opportunity has never been better. Across Canada, leagues and tournaments are growing faster than the pool of available officials. That means more games to officiate, more flexibility in scheduling, and strong compensation for anyone willing to step up and call the action from behind the plate or on the bases.
Officiating is also one of the few side gigs where you get genuine exercise while you work. As an umpire or referee, you're on your feet, moving around the diamond, staying mentally sharp with every pitch. It's a far cry from sitting behind a desk, and most officials say game nights are the highlight of their week. Plus, refereeing an adults-only sport means the environment is relaxed and fun.
