Registry Members-Only Section Added to Umpire Site
 Little League Umpire Registry members CAN access a registry members-only section of the website. The members-only section is located under the umpire’s link.
Currently on the members page are downloads of the 2012 Rules Instruction Manual as well as the 60- and 90-foot Field Mechanics Manuals. 
Little League International plans on providing additional training opportunities in the months to come through presentations and articles specifically related to umpiring.
