The Venezuela Baseball Federation (FEVEBEISBOL) announced a partnership with the Sports University of the South (Universidad Deportiva del Sur), which is based in the State of Cojedes.
The Sports University will introduce courses to educate students across key areas of baseball, the number one sport in the country.
Courses for umpires, scorers, coaches and officials will be open to anybody who wishes to improve his or her baseball skillset.
The courses cover the operation and management of baseball events while also aiming to improve the knowledge of the official rules.
"Our goal is to help individuals receive an education about baseball and thus professionalize the level of the game nationally," stated FEVEBEISBOL in a release.
Powerhouse Venezuela is currently the top-ranked baseball nation in South America, at No. 8 in the WBSC Baseball World Rankings.
