CLL provides volunteer umpires to the Minor and Major divisions in both Softball and Baseball. Younger divisions don’t need umpires and older divisions have paid umpires.

As always, please contact us if you have questions.

Let's Get Started

From this page, you can learn about:

• The basics of being an umpire
• Mentor umpires
• Rules (including league rules)
• Manager and coach responsibilities
• Child safety
• Youth umpiring

After that, you'll be ready to sign up for games and we'll see you at the fields!

Please Note!

Umpires are not permitted inside the snack stand.  If you need water for your water bottle or a drink after a game, please go to the counter and ask.

It is important to drink water during you games.  However, because of the expense, we cannot supply free water (in the pre-pack bottles) to umpires.  Please buy them or bring a water bottle and they will gladly fill it for you at the snack stand.  If you need a water bottle, there are usually a number of them left over or lost and left with the snack stand.  Ask Bruce if you can have one of them.
