Parents of Umpires,

Parents, please ask your children if they want to be an umpire for your local little league.  It is helpful in so many ways.  Some advantages for your child are:

• They earn a bit of income for themselves.
• They interact with a non-profit in which they help youths in their community.
• They develop advanced knowledge of the game of baseball.
• They learn leadership and accountability for themselves and others.
  

These are key things we are all working to teach our kids and I am committed to developing FLAG Little Leagues umpire program to accomplish these goals.

You can expect your child will umpire at least one game a week at 6 pm starting the fourth week in April.  There will be some weekend games.  Depending on the age range they can make between $15 and $40 a game.  There will be a training session that they must attend this session to learn how to ump in a game.  There are some very key concepts they must understand and put to use each game that we will teach them.

We will also be staffing girls softball…so if your daughters are interested please have them come.  While they have always been welcome, and a few have umped boys games, we now have softball games for them to umpire.

Please email [email protected] and send us your contact information.  This is a great place to start to learn about what it means to work for a local organization for a sport they love.

Thanks,
FLAG Little League Board of Directors
