With the 2026 Little League Season approaching, now is your opportunity to sign up to become an adult or youth Little League Umpire!
No experience is necessary – we provide free training to get you ready for the season.
The umpires are “the third team” on the baseball field and without umpires, there would be no games.
Umpiring offers the opportunity to increase your baseball knowledge, to get fresh air, exercise, to serve the community and to have the “best seat in the house” during Little League baseball games. Umpiring can be a wonderful hobby for parents, young adult kids, siblings and friends to engage in together.
