Umpires play a crucial role with overseeing baseball and softball games, ensuring that they run smoothly. Their responsibilities include observing gameplay, enforcing the rules of the game, and, when needed, making judgment calls about the actions of players and coaches.

Umpiring can be extraordinarily rewarding for a number of reasons. Foremost among them is that as a Little League® umpire, you serve the children and families in your community.

Also, as a volunteer umpire, you gain an even deeper knowledge of, and appreciation for, Little League. Once you start officiating games you gain an entirely new perspective on the role umpires play in the Little League experience.
