Umpire Training

Umpire Game Sign-Up

Would you love to have the best seat in the ballpark? How about getting to know the kids in your Little League who play our nation's great pastime? Would it make your day to leave the field knowing you've had a hand in enabling two dozen youngsters to play the most American of all sports, baseball? Then being a Little League umpire is for you!!!

Being an umpire is fun, rewarding and not as hard as you think. There is a number of ways that you can get umpire training and get involved in providing a much needed service to your kids and the community!

You don't have to have umpire training to volunteer and help. But training is available and encouraged so that you have the skills to provide a quality experience for everyone involved.

Here are the ways you can get umpire training:

The Girl's Fastpitch Interleague provides free umpire training those interested specifically in softball.

FASTPITCH UMPIRES CLINIC
(sponsored by the Interleague Council)

Location: TBA

Date: TBA

Time: TBA

(No Fee - covered by the League)

An overview of softball rules and umpiring fundamentals. The rules for Northshore's fastpitch softball are based on the 2004 Little League Softball Official Regulations and Playing Rules (blue book, available at the clinic) and a set of modifications (age-appropriate rule simplifications) particular to each division of play (Farm, Minor and Major). This is highly recommended for managers and coaches, as well as umpires, because past experience has indicated that problems arise at games when there are different interpretations of the same rule or a general lack of knowledge about the rules.

 

District 8 of Little League
offers 4 nights of umpire instruction for free.

Shorewood High School Cafeteria

Seattle, Wa 98133

 

This training covers both hardball and fastpitch. Umpires with this training typically do games at the Farm, Minors and Majors levels and are strictly volunteers. You can also visit District 8 Umpires for more information.

 

 

 

Northwest Baseball Umpires Association (NBUA) offers extensive training and support for those who are looking to umpire players 13 years old and up. However, this is also great training even for those who want to umpire younger players. This training typically begins in January so you must sign up early. For more on NBUA training, class dates/times and signup information please visit the Northwest Baseball Umpires Association website. Umpires who are members of NBUA can be paid for games they umpire in the Boys Senior Hardball Divisions (but you do not have to be a NBUA member to umpire at the Senior Division).

 

All Northshore Little League umpires volunteer their time because they love the game of baseball and want to share it with the youth of your community. If you feel the same way please consider joining us and helping to umpire some baseball games.

If you need more information or just want to volunteer to umpire then please contact our Umpire In Chief.
