Victor Canales
Victor has been involved with USSSA for many years, beginning as a multi-sport official and working his way to becoming the National Fastpitch Umpire-in-Chief. In 2022, Victor stepped away from the coordinator position to start the Space Coast Spring Games.
Victor oversees the entirety of the Space Coast Spring Games. However, it won’t be unusual to find Victor on the field during the tournament as he is still an active official in several Division 1 conferences.
Victor has an expansive officiating career beginning at the age of fourteen. While Victor is best known for his fastpitch softball career, he has also officiated college soccer, college basketball, and Division 1 baseball. In his college fastpitch softball career, Victor has officiated many post-season matches, including three NAIA World Series championships. Victor is also a vital umpire in the Women’s Professional Fastpitch league, most notably named Crew Chief for the first ever Championship Series.
Victor is also involved in administering NCAA softball. He currently manages five assigning positions for conferences throughout the midwest, including the Crossroads league, the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference, the Midwest Athletic Conference, the North Coast Athletic Conference and the Ohio Community College Athletic Conference.
