Free Umpire Training
La Grande Little League and District #3 holds umpire rules and mechanics clinics each spring to help get started or help brush off the dust and get ready for the season. Dates and locations to be announced.
You probably spent a lot of time watching your kids play ball this season. You probably also heard people yell -- or perhaps even yelled yourself -- some of the following:
* "The runner is out if she doesn't slide!"
* "One base on an overthrow!"
* "The hands are part of the bat!"
* "The ball hit the plate! It's a foul ball!"
Are you interested in learning why these statements are true -- or false -- and why? Would you like to become a better coach, umpire or player? Do you want to be a more informed fan?
LGLL offers free training opportunities. Be on the alert for announcements for your next session.
