Junior Umpire Program - Registration is Open!

Will you be a teenager (13-19) in the spring? Are you a former Little Leaguer, knowledgeable about baseball and/or softball and looking to earn some cash? If so, then the Issaquah Little League Junior Umpire Program might be for you! We are looking for teens who know baseball/softball and who want to umpire games for 9-12 year olds on weeknights after school and on weekends during the day. We will train you and provide the equipment you need. We pay $30 a game during the season and $75/$50 during the playoffs depending on the position. To ensure we have appropriate coverage we are asking you to commit to attend the training and have the time to work at least one game a week.

If you want to join the program, use the youth umpire registration link above. Follow the instructions and register as an umpire. We'll get back in touch with you to tell you when the training is and how to get started.

Adult Umpire Program

Issaquah Little League is always looking for adult volunteers who want to umpire. We will provide the training and equipment; you provide your time and enthusiasm. Umpiring is a great way to be involved with Little League and to watch games from the best seat in the house! Plus, you'll get to work with our great corps of teenage umps.

If you want to volunteer to be an adult umpire, use the adult umpire registration link above. Follow the instructions and register as an umpire. We'll get back in touch with you to tell you when the training is and how to get started.

Umpire Training

District 9 is offering a series of umpire training classes to give everyone from the newcomer to the veteran a chance to improve their umpiring skills. Classroom training is organized by level.

The Little League site (www.littleleague.org) has some wonderful resources for umpires and videos that help explain various calls and situations that occur during the game.

Please visit: Little League University - Umpires

We will be holding two sessions of training - classroom and field for first and second year umpires and anyone wanting a refresher. This will be the only time that training is conducted for this season. Please ensure that you are in attendance for both sessions.

Scheduling Games

Umpire Information and Discussion

To facilitate broader communication with the umpire community, Issaquah Little League will be looking for a new communication platform and will provide further information once we determine the platform and account.
