Don't kill the ump: Umpire training and Rules Clinics for Little League parents

Learn the rules - help the play be fun and safe

The 2014 Season is well underway, and while players are practicing, Richmond Little League, along with other leagues in District 8, is putting on a couple of events to give parents and volunteers some in-depth information on how the games are played.

Rules Clinic: Have you ever watched a little league game and wondered about the rules governing the game? Come listen to highly experienced experts discuss the rules and talk about how to keep the play fun and safe. If you are interested in helping out your league, even occasionally, this is a good event to attend.

The three-part clinic will be held at the new Shorewood High School cafeteria. Monday March 10, Wednesday March 12, and Thursday March 13. 5:45pm to 9pm each night.

Umpire Field Mechanics: You want to make the call? Come find out how from some of the best umpires in the world. If you are a new umpire volunteer, or if you simply want to brush up on your skills, come to the field mechanics training on Saturday, March 22 at the Loyal Heights Playfield in north Seattle.

• The 60’ field training runs from 9am to 1pm.
• The 90’ field training runs from 1pm to 4pm.
