2018 Rules Presentation

A great friend of the Westide Little League, John Valverde (a veteran umpire who works primarily with our sister District to the west, CA District 65), put together this presentation and provided to CA District 61 in hopes of continually training our coaches, umpires, and league officials on rules. Take a look, glean whatever you can, and grow your knowledge of the Little League game!

Big thank you to John for his service, friendship, and efforts here!
