Umpiring Spring 2023
Scripps Ranch Little League offers one of the best youth umpire programs in Little League. SRLL youth umpires get to develop a sense of responsibility, learn the rules of baseball, and earn money. We are looking for both experienced and non-experienced umpires. We will hold training a few weeks before the season starts and offer continual training throughout the year.
If your child turns 11 before May 1, 2023 he is eligible to join the Scripps Ranch Little League Umpire Program. The program provides umpiring opportunities each year to school age youth during both the regular Little League season (March-June) and Fall Ball season (September–November). If you're not already involved, we invite you to become a part of it.
