I am not certified for baseball, but I have done a lot of Little League, Babe Ruth, middle school, high school Freshman and J.V. League games, etc. I have not done many lately, but I fill in on occasion. I have never gone through any formal training, and I am sure I would be in big trouble with the nuances of the rules and mechanics. I am comfortable umpiring at that level. I would have become a certified baseball official long ago, but the only classes for it in New Hampshire are a two-hour one way trip, and I am being stubborn. If they had a class that was closer...
Because people know I officiate basketball and because of my aforementioned baseball experience, I am occasionally asked to do middle school or youth league soccer. For those reasons and because I had a girlfriend 12 years ago who played volleyball, I have even been asked to officiate middle school matches. I have never had any significant trouble in any of those games, and the competition has never been too intense.
