Arizona District 2 LL: Umpires
Arizona District 2 Volunteer Umpires
Welcome to the Official Home Page of the Arizona District 2 Little League Volunteer Umpires
The District 2 Umpire Association is a completely Volunteer organization whose mission is to promote, develop, train and mentor Umpires who participate in Little League Baseball. We will accomplish this by Training Clinics and personally working with crews throughout the District.

We would like to thank everyone who helped to make the 2012 District 2 All Star Tournament a success. We covered 111 All Star games. Most of these were covered with 4 man crews.

All of our staff is volunteers. District 2 volunteer umpires have gone on to do High School, Varsity, Junior College and we have had our guys do Professional Spring training games. Little League is a great place to start, no experience necessary! For information on volunteering at some of our leagues see Russ or the one of the Umpire Contacts.
