CMRLL Umpire Information Aside from calling ball or strike, safe or out, umpires are responsible for teaching players good sportsmanship and the rules of the game. Umpires are also called upon to interpret rules and help settle minor disputes that may occur during games. Most Little League games have one home plate umpire and a minimum of one field umpire. Before becoming a home plate umpire you may be required to participate in training sessions and seminars. No prior experience is necessary. There are various rules and mechanics clinics that are run by the District 31 Umpires. These clinics discuss Little League rules, how to make calls, and the placement of the umpires on the field during game play. Clinics are typically held in January and/or February. CMRLL may require that ALL umpires attend a minimum of one clinic prior to the start of the regular season.
Youth Umpires
Adult Umpires Friday, February 6 Dave Walker Selected for Umpire Honor Dave Walker, our Umpire-in-Chief for the past two seasons, has been selected by Little League Baseball International to umpire in the Junior Division Europe Regional Tournament in Kutno, Poland, July 14-21, 2009. The tournament will include teams from several continents. The facility is the Little League Europe, Middle East and Africa Regional Headquarters (EMEA), opened in 1996 as the first full-service regional complex outside the U.S. To earn this honor, Dave had to be recommended first by our District Administrator, have Divisional experience, and then receive the recommendation of the Regional Directors. Given the high caliber of umpiring talent in our District, Dave's selection is an exceptional honor. He will be accompanied by Shu Zhu, also a D31 umpire.
Dave began umpiring in CMRLL in 2000 after checking the umpire box on the volunteer application. His son Ryan was playing in the Minor Division. CMR had a large softball program and Dave umpired as much or more softball in those first couple of years.
His formal training began at the weeklong umpire clinic at the Western Regional HQ in February 2003. He was selected to the District Staff at the end of the season in September 2003. Dave has umpired in all levels of Little League Baseball and Softball in various District, Section, and Division Tournaments in Southern California and Nevada.

The next time you drop off your son at one of Dave's youth umpiring clinics, please offer your congratulations.
