Junior Umpire Program

Woodcreek Little League’s Junior Umpire Program provides teens with an opportunity to learn the rules of baseball, develop leadership skills, and contribute to our league in an important and meaningful way. This program follows the guidance and philosophy outlined by Little League International: building confidence, communication skills, and responsibility through supervised on-field experience.

• 🧢 Who it’s for: Teens interested in learning to umpire while gaining valuable leadership experience in a supportive environment.
• 📘 Training: Junior Umpires receive instruction on rules, mechanics, positioning, and game management. Training is conducted by experienced umpires.
• 🤝 Mentorship: When possible, Junior Umpires are paired with experienced adult umpires or more advanced Junior Umpires who can offer guidance and support, helping newer umpires grow in confidence each game.
• 🧍 Expectations: Arrive early, dress appropriately, demonstrate professionalism, and maintain a calm, positive presence on the field.
• 📅 Game Assignments: Assignments are based on age, experience, performance, and availability. Communication will be sent through email and/or text.

Junior Umpires play a key role in promoting sportsmanship, fairness, and a safe playing environment—values central to the Little League mission.
