Welcome to the Niagara Frontier Board of High School Softball Officials (NFBHSSO) website. The Niagara Frontier Board is 1 of only 30 High School softball organizations affiliated with the governing softball body in New York State – New York State Softball Officials (NYSSO). Our organization has over 60 members, umpiring High School softball games throughout Erie, Niagara and Orleans Counties.
The Niagara Frontier Board is committed to training new High School softball umpires and to continue to educate our established High School softball umpires. Our training of softball umpires will ensure both the safety of the players and integrity of the game, through proper enforcement of the New York State High School softball rules. First year softball umpires will go through a 9 session training period, which will conclude in the taking the New York State High School softball test. Once you have passed the New York State High School softball test, you will be certified to umpire High School softball, at a sub varsity level.
