The information source for umpires of the Moraine-West Carrollton Little League.
Hello Everybody,
Just wanted to let everyone know about the Umpire Clinics coming up and a few changes this year.
First of all the Umpire Clinics will start March 8, 2008 @ Moraine Civic Center from 12 PM till 4 PM. and will be as follows: March 11th @ Moraine Civic Center from 6 PM till 8 PM
March 18th @ Moraine Civic Center from 6 PM till 8 PM
March 25th @ Moraine Civic Center from 6 PM till 8 PM
All of these clinics above are required unless you are in a sport or due to work schedule. This can be discussed on an individual basis.
There is an Optional clinic that the District 8 Umpires are conducting on March 29, 2008 in Huber Heights and the cost is $20. This will be a very informative clinic and would be helpful if you are going to move up umpiring and do behind the plate.
You will be tested both on the rules and on mechanics and your scores will determine how much you will be scheduled.
You must be at least 14 to Umpire because we were informed that all the minors under the age of 16 must have a work permit and 14 is the youngest you can get one. The work permit must be on file with us before you will be scheduled to umpire.
If you have umpired before you should already have a plate brush, ball bag, counter, and shirt. If you do not have these items already you will have to buy them. Everything but the shirt can be purchased at Meijer, Dicks, Tuffy Brooks, and Wal-Mart. We can order the shirt for you but it must be paid in full before we place the order. If you have not Umpired before you will receive a plate brush, ball bag, and counter but you will have to pay for your shirt. You all will receive new hats.
If you have any friends that would enjoy Umpiring and will take it seriously, let them know about the clinics.
If you have any questions or concerns please e-mail or call (604-8584) anytime.
Thanks and looking forward to seeing you soon.
John Bowman Umpire in Chief
