Congratulations to

Rich Odermatt, 

Tom Lawrence

Scott Smith

on their Western Region Tournament assignments.

Rich Has been selected by Western Region to umpire the 2010 Big League Softball Western Region Tournament!

Rich was a host umpire last year. By being selected by Western Region for the 2010 tournament and, if he scores high enough on his evaluations, Rich will be elibable to umpire the Big League Softball World Series.

Scott has been selected to umpire the 2010 Sr. Baseball Western Region Tournament. This is a long overdue reward for one District 51's most dedicated volunteers.

Tom has been selected to umpire at the 2010 Sr. Softball Western Region Tournament in Missoula Montana . Another long overdue reward for a volunteer umpire that has not had children in Little League for many years but continues to volunteer his time.

Having 3 umpires selected for Regionals in the same year is something everyone involved with District 51 should be very proud of. It proves that all of our hard work and dedication is paying off.

We are going to be selecting 2 host umpires for this years, 2010 Big League Softball WR Tournament from our  association. This is a great 1st step for any certified umpire who wants to continue moving up the ladder. 

It's what you learn,

after you know everything that counts! 

The First 2010 District  mechanics clinic in  District 51 has been set for
