Umpires Info

Local rules, pointers to the rest of the rules; the schedules, the forms, and the rest of the process.

All Adults and Youths, including siblings, age 12 or older are encouraged to umpire for CNLL. Each Minors, Majors, and Junior team should provide at least one Adult umpire. This helps ensure that all the games have adequate and fully trained umpires. CNLL will pay Youth umpires on a per game bases if they attend our training program, and all umpires receive a free meal at the snack shack for each game served.

Please visit this Umpires Info page on the CNLL web site and RSVP to the Chief Umpire (the mail address is umpires at CNLL.ORG) if you want to be an umpire.
