2017 Umpire Clinic
Majors Division players who are at least 11 years old this season (or if you have aged out of Little League) are invited to become an umpire with Dunbar Little League during the 2017 season. Any Majors player (or older) new to umpiring will typically begin with base umpiring at Minor B. With experience, players can move to Minor B plate and Minor A umpiring. Umpiring is a fun way to be involved with baseball outside of playing games, and Dunbar pays our umpires a per game honorarium of $15 for base and $20 for plate, so it’s also a great way to earn some extra money.
If interested in umpiring this year, new umpires must register for and attend an umpire clinic on April 1, 2017 from 1:00pm to 3:30pm at Dunbar. This is the only clinic that will be offered for new umpires this season. Unfortunately if your player cannot attend this clinic, then they cannot become an umpire this season.
To register for the clinic and indicate your interest in being an umpire this season, please email Selena Chu, Dunbar Umpire Coordinator at selena_chu@hotmail.com. Please include your child’s name, email address and phone number.
The clinic will be held at Dunbar’s main diamond at 4701 Dunbar Street.The clinic will be outdoors. Attendees should dress warmly and bring rain wear.
Returning umpires should have already been contacted by Selena via the Assignr umpire system.
