What does Level I require, and how do I maintain it?

Prerequisites: none. Level I is for new officials.

Training: attend a Level I clinic and score 60% or higher on the Level I exam. The national exam is not required in your first year but is required in later years. No evaluation is required.

Where you can work: local minor and adult recreational softball.

Maintenance: attend a local or association clinic every two years and write the national exam, scoring 60% or higher. A failing score means that year does not count toward advancement.
