FAQ
Are these signals standard across all youth leagues?
Core signals like safe, out, and strike are broadly consistent, but always confirm specifics with your league's rulebook, since minor variations exist.
Is this for baseball, softball, or both?
The core signal set covers both baseball and softball umpiring, since most standard calls are shared between the two.
Does this replace umpire training or certification?
No — this is a quick reference for common signals, not a substitute for proper umpire training and certification.
