Why Umpire?
Umpiring can be a great way to enhance your understanding of the rules of baseball and how they are applied in game situations. It is also a fun way to stay involved in baseball if you're no longer playing or even to give back to the community. Umpiring also looks good on a college application because it requires many of the qualities colleges look for: leadership, confidence, and the ability to make decisions under pressure.
Please consider spending a few short months with us by becoming a Little League Umpire.
