Overview

The SLL Umpire program is composed of both youth and adult umpires.  Umpires must be baseball age 12 during the spring season of the current year to be eligible to become an umpire.  The fall season is umpired by the spring season eligible umpires.  No new umpires are used for the fall season.

All umpires aged 16 and older are required to complete an online background check.

Registration:
Umpiring is open to all boys and girls league age 12 or older. If you are a recent SLL umpire or a parent of a child interested in umpiring this year, please fill in this Google form by February 14th.  

Quiz
All new and returning umpires in 12th grade and below are required to pass the online quiz.  You need to get at least an 80% grade to pass and can retake it as necessary.

Training – Classroom & Field (Spring season only)

Required training will be at the District 6 Little League umpire clinic (for first year, second year, and other interested umpires) on March 14 at 11am to 4pm in Harwinton. 

Required SLL training for all umpires will occur in the weeks following the District 6 training. Training details will be shared after SLL umpire registration closes. 

Availability Submission

Umpires provide their availability for upcoming games for the divisions they are eligible to umpire.  Each umpire is generally assigned 1-3 games every 2 weeks depending on the size of the umpire pool and number of games.  

Umpire Schedules
Umpire assignments are made thru an online service from Stack Officials.  All umpires will have an account.
