Umpires
Brattleboro Little League relies on volunteer adult and youth umpires. Volunteer umpiring is a huge help to our league, and an essential part of the game. Community service credit is available to local high school students who umpire. (Even if you do not have a child in the league, you are more than welcome to volunteer and are encouraged to do so.)
League Umpire-in-Chief, Jon Reed, organizes the league’s umpires and holds off-season meetings beginning in January to familiarize all umpires with new and old rules alike. Additionally, the league sends umpires to off-season umpire clinics every year and will pay to send you to the training.
Umpires who have the skillset and desire can become Certified Umpires. For more information, head to the Little League’s official Umpire page.
Always remember that umpiring is very difficult and the people doing it are volunteers. Mistakes will be made, and abuse of umpires at the Brattleboro Little League Field is strictly forbidden. Anyone abusing an umpire will be asked to leave the premises.
Please speak to Jon Reed or fill out the form below if you’re interested in umpiring. Any other coaches or board members can get you started as well.
