Upcoming Little League International Umpire Clinics
The Umpire Rules Clinic will be held March 8-10. This clinic will be primarily classroom based with no protective equipment required. The cost of the clinic will include a light dinner Friday evening, three meals on Saturday and two meals Sunday, as well as lodging in the Little League dormitories.
The Umpire Mechanics Clinic will be held March 29–31. This clinic will be conducted outside using the field facilities at Little League International. Protective equipment will be needed for this clinic. Each student attending the school will need to provide their own equipment (if they have it).
The week-long Umpire School will be held April 23-28. Sessions will cover rules, regulations, and interpretations (Baseball and Softball); the mechanics of the two-umpire system; the philosophy, mental approach, and attitude toward Little League Baseball and Softball and much more.
