Timberlake Little League: My Site News: UMPIRES ALWAYS NEEDED
|
 |
The Little League Organization is in desperate need of volunteers to step forward and umpire our season games. We are faced with a shortage of volunteers to Umpire. It is extremely important for our League and its patrons to have people step up to the plate, so to speak, and volunteer. A game without an umpire has no control. Therefor the possibilities of chaos and disruptions are endless. So please consider our request and contact Sean Miranda the Chief of Umpires for further information. Remember that volunteers make our League happen without them we would not exist.
Umpire's Role
Often an overlooked aspect of the Little League program, umpiring is one of the most important. The volunteer umpire is as much a part of Little League as the volunteer manager, coach or concession stand worker.
Who is responsible for the conduct of umpires? First and foremost, it is the umpire himself/herself. Each of us in Little League must take responsibility for our own actions. However, umpires are appointed by the local league president and approved by the local league board of directors. Only the local league board of directors has the authority to dismiss or suspend any local league umpire from regular season games.
