New umpires are required to first attend an umpires mechanics clinic taught by Western Region Little League trained instructors. Once the clinic is completed, new umpires can then be assigned games on the umpire schedule. More details for new umpires regarding the program on the "Program Details" page (under Umpires).
There are two umpire mechanics clinic training events prior to the start of the 2025 season, and one in mid-March after the season starts. Returning umpires must attend a clinic each year to increase their game reimbursement for that season. Registration is required to attend:

Our youth umpire program is intended as a leadership development program for local youth in the community. Our participants gain self-confidence and learn people skills that last a lifetime.
For game assignments, send requests via email including game date, time, and field. Without this information, the request(s) will be delayed.
Thank you for your interest and participation in the umpire program at DMLL. See you on the ball field!
Regards,
