Umpires
Become a Little League Umpire – A Thrilling Way to Get Involved!
Are you ready to step up to the plate and make positive impact in the game? Whether you are a young player, an eager parent, or someone just looking for a fun and rewarding job, umpiring is a fantastic opportunity to be part of the action while earning some extra cash!
Umpiring isn't just for adults or experienced players—it’s for anyone aged 12 and up! As an umpire, you will get an up-close view of the game, help keep it fair and fun and develop a deeper understanding of baseball. Plus, it is a perfect spring or summer gig that lets you work outdoors, set your schedule, and be part of the community.
For players, this is an awesome way to stay connected with the sport while earning money. Parents, siblings, and friends who want to get involved can also sign up—no experience required!
Umpiring is not just about making calls—it is about gaining a deeper knowledge of the game and developing your skills. Plus, you will earn the respect of players, coaches, and parents alike. Veteran umpires often say the best compliment is a simple “Good game, Blue!”
Be the Third Team on the Field — Umpires Wanted!
CWLL is gearing up for another great season, and we’re looking for returning and new umpires to join us. Umpiring is a fun way to stay close to the game, build leadership and confidence, and support our players and coaches in a positive environment.
Who can umpire?
If you’re age 12+, you can get started — players, parents, and siblings are all welcome.

How Umpire Scheduling Works
We use ArbiterSports, a user-friendly tool that lets you sign up for available games based on your schedule. As a new umpire, we suggest you start with base umpiring for a few games before stepping up to plate umpiring. This helps build confidence and gives you the chance to learn the ropes from experienced umpires.
Umpire Pay
Get paid to do what you love! Here are the game fees:
Payment made easy! We will e-transfer the funds to the email address you registered in your Arbiter profile.
All new and returning Umpires are required to complete the 2026 Registration Form. This will ensure we have all your current information.
Umpire Gear: Get Ready to Go!
Once you have completed your umpire and rules clinics, we will provide you with your official umpire gear: hat, shirt, ball bag, brush, and indicator. You will need to bring your own pants, shoes, and belt.
