Do you need forms in Spanish?

In Southern California we live in a bi-lingual culture.  If your League needs forms in the Spanish Language (and you probably do); Little League has an answer.  Many of the forms required to run a League have been translated to the Spanish language. 

Click on the header above and a link will be initiated that will take you to the Little League’s Forms & Publications webpage.  In addition to download links for English language forms, you will find links to Spanish versions.

2009/2010 Western Regional Clinics Offered NOW!

The UIC "Train the Trainer" clinic is open for online registration now. A major re-construction of all buildings on the Western Region Complex will be taking place the next few months. Currently in the planning process and do not have a timeline for the construction to begin. The plan is to provide all the regular training schools this year if possible. Please keep checking back on for more information on when the other training schools might open. Thank You. 

Online Registration for all Regional Clinics will be by credit card only. If you don't have a credit card, you will need to call and register with the regional office at 909-887-6444.

You can view a detailed description of the clinics offered on the WR website by clicking on the heading above. Click on the "Register Now" link opposite the clinic desired to register for each clinic.

Player Agent Seminar  November 7, 2009   This clinic will assist the Little League Player Agent in the performance of his/her job responsibilities. This is probably the toughest job in a local league. This seminar will assist you with the development of a plan and knowledge of how the player agent interacts within the local league. The training offered, and the materials presented are outstanding. This clinic is open to all Little League Volunteers and District Officials, regardless of experience. You will be provided with the necessary tools to complete your difficult task and return to your leagues to administer your duties with the knowledge and confidence necessary. This will be a one day clinic on Saturday, starting at 7 a.m. and ending at 8 p.m. Meals and training materials will be provided at the Western Region Headquarters complex.  

Chief Umpire UIC “TRAIN the TRAINER” Clinic  November 13 – 15, 2009 

This clinic is designed to instruct and train the Local League or District Chief Umpires how to plan and conduct rules and mechanics clinics for their own league or district.  This clinic is a “Train the Trainer” type clinic and will provide the experience and knowledge for the league officials to return to their home league and facilitate their own clinics, while providing sufficient training and information for their local staff and volunteers.  

Rules Instruction Clinic January 23 – 24, 2010 and January 30 – 31, 2010 This clinic is open to anyone who desires more knowledge of the rules of Little League. Managers, Coaches, Umpires, League & District Officials are encouraged to attend.

Adult Umpire Schools 1st Session February 13 – 19, 2010 2nd Session February 21 – 27, 2010 Two sessions are available. Both Rules and Field Training are included and the materials offered are outstanding. Each student will receive ample videotaped plate instruction throughout the week. Includes dormitory style housing and all meals.

Junior Umpire School  June 19 – 25, 2010   This is a one-week school and the curriculum is designed for Little League Umpire’s ages 13 – 17 years of age. The clinic is open to all Little League Junior Umpires regardless of their experience. The training offered, and the materials presented are outstanding. The curriculum is designed for the Little League Junior Umpire. Each student will receive videotaped plate instruction throughout the week, plus instruction on plate and base mechanics for the two-man system used in Little League. Regional School Instructors, as well as Instructors that graduated from the Junior Umpire School provide the same training as the adult week-long school. The school includes meals, dormitory style housing, (an instructor stays in the dorms each night to provide supervision), a supervised chaperoned trip to a professional baseball game with an opportunity to talk to the professional umpires who worked the game, and many more activities and fun. We suggest that leagues or districts may wish to sponsor their young volunteer umpires for this training. The local league/district, in return, will be rewarded by the information and experience that these umpires bring back from the school. They will be experienced and confident to equip, train, and mentor other umpires in your league or district. This will be a positive investment for your program as well as the student umpire, and you will recover your investment many times over. The school is limited to 60 participants and usually fills up fast, so make your plans early. This is a six-day clinic, with registration beginning on Saturday between 2 and 5 p.m., and concluding with graduation on Friday at 4 p.m. Meals and dormitory style housing will be provided at the Western Region Headquarters complex and the cost for the clinic is $300.00.

     On July 12th, 2009 at Tierra Bonita School in Poway the John Coffey Scholarship Award recipients were announced prior to the District 31 All-star Little League (11-12 year olds) championship game. The adult recipient this year was Dave Miller, Umpire-in-Chief for Poway American Little League.

     At an awards ceremony on September 26th, 2009, the youth umpire, Anthony (AJ) Capito, Escondido National was recognized.

     The john coffey scholarship award has been established by Earlene Coffey in conjunction with District 31 to honor annually two volunteer umpires who show and possess the effort, respect and teachings of the former District 31 Umpire-in-Chief.

     John Coffey dedicated his life to the advancement of the volunteer umpire. Whether by teaching or example John Coffey epitomized the dedication of the volunteer umpire. Even after years of service, John continued to seek betterment for himself and those who sought his advice. This scholarship award seeks to continue the effort, respect and professional attitude he exemplified each and every time he stepped on the baseball diamond.

     The scholarship recipients are chosen by a committee consisting of Mark Bernstein, District 31 Umpire-in-Chief, along with Tom Marshall and Earlene Coffey.

     The honorees will be awarded a scholarship to attend a weekend or weeklong clinic of his choice at the Western Regional Headquarters in San Bernardino, California; a complete set of umpire plate gear; in addition to a plaque signifying the achievement.
