Umpires Needed!
Martinsburg Little League would like to thank
all the Umpires for graciously donating their time.

Umpire Information
Well-trained and interested umpires are as essential as the players themselves
Martinsburg Little League offers many avenues for umpires to learn the game and develop the necessary skills for successful umpiring. Over the past few years we have sent a number of up and coming umpires to the Little League Umpire School. A week long course held at Little League International in Williamsport, PA. These lucky volunteers had the opportunity to learn from some of the best Little League Umpires in the game today. Daily training and accomadations on the same fields and dorms the players use during the Little League World Series!
Please fill out a Volunteer Form and contact our Umpire-In-Chief to discuss your next steps.
