In 2015, Falls Little League initiated a junior umpiring program as a new initiative to provide community youth an opportunity to continue to grow and learn about the game of baseball, gain valuable leadership growth opportunities and yes earn some money.
From a historical standing point, the league has typically contracted out for umpires for Coast and Major baseball games. As we move to each new season, these umpiring resources are becoming more and more limited in availability, while at the same time annually raising rates. This challenge is something that not only impacts Falls Little League, but all districts and every youth sports organization no matter the sport. As our Junior Umpire program continues to grow, it is our hope we are providing our Junior Umpires a future path to help meet the growing demand for umpires locally, regionally and nationally.
Falls Little League players, 12 years* and up are eligible to join our program and umpire “AAA” baseball and softball games and earn payment of $30 per game for their time and efforts. Experienced Jr Umpires we aim to get them involved in Coast division games.
Falls Little League provides both the training and the umpire gear to those that are interested in taking part in the program. Joining the Junior Umpire program is a great way to earn valuable life skills, be in a leadership position, have fun and earn some extra money.
