GKCOA softball &
baseball Information
The goals of GKCOA-Baseball/Softball are to increase the quality, professionalism and numbers of baseball and softball umpires in the Greater Kansas City area. To achieve these goals, we strive to better train our umpires, increase their knowledge of rules and mechanics, keep them updated on MSHSAA development, conduct meetings and clinics, and simply be available to provide any assistance we can to umpires regardless of age or experience.
We also serve as the liaison with MSHSAA and the Suburban Conference working closely with MSHSAA reps Terry Stevens (baseball Rules Interpreter) Bob Jones (baseball Mechanics Clinician) and Anita Robinet (softball Rules Interpreter and Mechanics Clinician) and Suburban Conference assignor Dan Ogle.
If you have questions or need more information, please contact Vice-President of Baseball-Softball Terry Stevens at 816-898-0711 or Tstevenskc@aol.com.
