Plymouth Canton Little League

Umpire Association

 

Registration

All Plymouth Canton Little League (PCLL) umpires must register by complete and sign both the annual Little League Volunteer Application or the Returning Volunteer Application and the PCLL Umpire Working Agreement.  It is highly recommended that each umpire register with the Little League International Umpires Registry as well. 

By joining the Umpire Registry, Little League umpires immediately become part of a unique information network charged with enhancing umpire services for Little League players everywhere.  

The Little League Umpire Registry is a place where you, and your fellow volunteers, have access to an assortment of training materials, including live webinars. You are also able to purchase a specially-discounted “umpire bundle” of materials from the Little League store, which features printed or electronic rule books and other items.

Note: The 2019 Umpire Registry is now open for registration; and the Little League Store (www.LittleLeagueStore.net) currently has the umpire bundle available for purchase.

Should you have any questions, or need information regarding the Umpire Registry, please contact Cathy Lusk, Operations Administrative Assistant, at 570-326-1921, ext. 2248; or [email protected].

Thank you again for the commitment of time and dedicated service you provide to the Little Leaguers® and volunteers in your community.
