2010 UMPIRE REGISTRY IS NOW OPEN


Little League Baseball's Umpire Registry offers Little League umpires a smart way to stay on top of their game.  By joining the Umpires Registry, umpires immediately become part of a unique information network charged with enhancing umpire services for Little League players everywhere.  "Little League started the Umpire Registry to provide umpires an easy and effective communication channel to stay updated about their game.  The response has been tremendous.

The Umpire Registry Provides an opportunity for umpires to stay updated on rules and regulations, exchange ideas, and offer suggestions that will continually improve them.  Umpires can access the latest information on clinics, seminars, rule interpretations, regulations updates and more.  According to Little League International, tools like the Fair Ball newsletter are providing umpires a network with which they can correspond and receive feedback on situations happening out in the field.

The cost to join the Umpire Registry $25 and includes with your membership, a copy of the Little League Baseball and Softball Rules, Current Electronic Edition CD (which you download from the Internet).  The electronic rulebooks allow users to search the rules electronically, making it easier and faster for umpires to find the information they need.  The Electronic Rules include 11 videos of rules that will help you understand that particular rule better by seeing the rule played out.  And, just like the printed rulebooks, the E-Rules expire at the end of the year when Little League issues updated rulebooks for the coming season.

Whether your new to Little League Umpiring or long time veteran, the Umpire Registry is here to help you become a better volunteer umpire.  Join TODAY!  Here is what you receive with your membership:
     ► Copies of all Little League Baseball Rule Books Baseball and Softball Rules.
     ► Electronic Edition which you download from a website.
