We need your help!

Notso is unique because all of it's umpires are past or present members.  By ensuring that our community is reflected in the faces of all people on the diamonds we continue to honour the Spirit of the League.  This season, we have so few umpires that we are having to explore the option of introducing umpires contracted through the Ontario Umpires Association (http://www.softballontario.ca).  This email is being sent to you as a final call to those who might be interested in being an umpire and/or learning to be an umpire this season.  Please contact us at info@notsoamazon.com with your interest before May 1st.
