UMPIRES ~ MANAGERS ~ COACHES

The primary mission of CAPITOL CITY UMPIRES ASSOCIATION is to train volunteer umpires for Little League.

We will be conducting training classes Monday nights in February and March for anyone interested in learning Little League Baseball and Softball Rules. We are looking for men and women interested in becoming Little League baseball/softball umpires. If you have no experience, you will receive all the training necessary. If you have umpired before, this class can build your confidence and your skills. Managers and coaches are encouraged to attend to learn the newest rules and to find out why umpires are positioned where they are.

The classes will cover the following:
