Umpire Program

Our Umpires in Action

TEAM UMPIRE REQUIREMENT (A, AA, AAA, & Majors Teams)

In accordance with Little League International, Anaheim Hills Little League (AHLL) uses volunteer umpires (parents / guardians /adult volunteers and Junior Umpires).

Each team (Single A, AA, AAA, & Majors) is required to staff at least two league-trained umpires per season. Umpires will be scheduled for all Intermediate, Majors, AAA, AA and Single A games as per AHLL by-laws.

Information regarding free umpire and rules clinics is listed below and attendance is required for prospective umpires, coaches, and managers.

All necessary equipment is provided by AHLL.

Junior/Youth Umpire Program

AHLL endeavors to grow its Junior/Youth Umpire Program and to keep its current & former players connected with the league.

Junior/Youth Umpires may umpire games at the Single A, AA & AAA levels (and Majors level with UIC approval). Junior/Youth Umpires must be at least 12 years of age (i.e. players in their final Little League season in our Majors Division). 12 year-old umpires are encouraged to work games with their parent/guardian.

Umpires 13 years or older may work solo or with a partner.

All training and equipment is provided by AHLL.

Junior/Youth Umpires are paid the following for their support:

AA / AAA / Majors: $40 for working home plate and $30 for working the bases.
Single A: $30 for working home plate and $20 for working the bases.
