Umpire Program

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.

Registration:
Registration for the 2024 season is CLOSED. 

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)
First, second, and third year umpires receive training at the beginning of the spring season through participation in a District 6 umpire clinic for Simsbury Little League umpires.  They will also receive on-field training before the season starts.  Rookie umpires begin the first year umpiring AA games as both plate and base umpires.

Returning umpires must attend a classroom clinic each year.

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..
