2019 Little League and Local Rules Resources
Know the rules. Little League rules are sometimes different than the MLB rules. You can pick up a 2019 Little League Rule Book at the snack bar for a few bucks.
Also, Alameda Little League has some local rules that the Board of Directors has chosen to implement. Did you know that a pitcher in AA can pitch only 2 innings while a Majors pitcher can pitch an entire game (provide they stay below the daily maximum pitch count for their age)? Press this link to read the 2019 Local Rules and Pitching Guidelines.

2019 Umpire Training
2019 Umpire Training - March 2nd
Due to expected heavy rains on Saturday morning, we will move the clinic indoor to the warehouse at 2307 Clement Avenue in Alameda. Due to limited space, separate sessions will be held for each division. Please attend according to the staggered schedule shown below for the Division(s) in which you intend to umpire. If you wish to umpire in A, AA, and AAA/Majors, come for all sessions.
Parking on the street will be scarce, so make plans to be dropped off if possible. Dress warmly.
To register, please click here to be taken to registration site: 2019 Umpiring Clinic.
Our rules training is conducted separately. Prior to attending the March 2nd training, please read the presentation: Alameda Little League Rules Training Presentation.
