General Information
Welcome to the 2012 Southern Little League baseball season!
Our Umpire in Chief will once again be Dave Kaefer. He is responsible for umpire training, overall umpire performance, and umpiring equipment. If you want to know anything about umpiring, he’s the person to talk to!
Our Umpire Coodinator is Mario Huang. He is responsible for scheduling umpires to games, managing their pay, as well as overall Arbiter maintenance and use. He can be contacted via email at Umpire Director.
All prospective umpires begin by filling out an Umpiring Information Form and attending the required training clinics. The information on the form will be used to assign officials to games, depending upon availability. The contact information is very important for communicating with officials about their schedules as well as granting them access to the Arbiter scheduling system.
Additionally, adult umpires (18 years and older) must submit to SSLL a 2012 Little League Volunteer Application, a copy of their driver’s license or DMV identification card. Questions regarding these procedures should be directed to the SSLL Safety Coordinator.
For all forms, please click Volunteers.
Email and Internet Access
We continue to use the web-based Arbiter scheduling system to assign officials to games and track their pay. Officials will be notified by e-mail a few days in advance of an assigned game.
The officials will also have access to the Arbiter. They will be able to accept games scheduled, find substitutes when they need one, and access contact information for the Umpire In Chief and the Umpire Director.
If an official does not have e-mail access, it is very important to have accurate and timely telephone contact information.
The telephone number for the Umpire in Chief is 408-469-5537.
Qualifications for Umpiring
The minimum age for being an umpire is 11 years old. Twelve year olds will umpire the Farm division. The Umpire In Chief will determine who will umpire the other divisions, based upon age and experience.
