Hagerstown Little League: League News
Umpire Clinic This Saturday - April 9
Hagerstown Little League will be hosting an umpire clinic at 4:00 this Saturday (April 9th) at the park. All major league managers and coaches are strongly encouraged to attend, as well as anyone who may want to volunteer to umpire major league games (either behind the plate or in the field) this upcoming year. This will be very educational for not just the umpires, but also the managers and coaches. A district umpire will be here and will cover a variety of things in regards to umpiring Little League games, as well as answer any questions you may have. All are welcome to attend. Hope to see everyone on Saturday.
