Adult volunteer umpires are always welcome and needed, especially for upper divisions, where game management is of the utmost importance due to the higher level of competition. If you're eager to get more directly involved in the games this is a great way to do it! Our adult umpires love the thrill of having the best seat in the house to watch some great baseball, and they also enjoy the constant challenge of making the right calls, quickly, confidently and decisively. Adult umpires who want to officiate games in the Majors are required to attend the District's outreach clinic each year. Check out the umpire calendar for more information.
If you are interested in becoming a volunteer umpire for CRLL, please contact Dom Ivezich, UIC .
Youth Umpire Program
Join the fun and be a part of this cool and exciting group of young leaders while earning extra spending money! Cosumnes River Little League provides boys and girls of at least 13 years of age the opportunity to umpire its games including softball and AA, AAA, and Major division baseball games. This is an exceptional opportunity for young people who know and love the game of baseball to gain experience in a position of responsibility and work at their first real paying job. For active players, umpiring can be a great way to enhance your understanding of the rules of baseball and how they are applied in game situations. It is also a fun way to stay involved in baseball if you're no longer playing. Umpiring also looks good on a college application because it requires many of the qualities colleges look for: leadership, confidence and the ability to make decisions under pressure. CRLL umpires are compensated for their services, and thus are expected to approach their role as professionals. As umpires, they have the final ruling on all aspects of the game. They are the king of the diamond!
Cosumnes River Little League is looking for youth umpires that love baseball and softball, understand and accept the responsibilities of the job, while being a big important part of the league. With over a dozen games every week and two umpires per game, there are a lot of opportunities.
