The experience, leadership and service of MLL's volunteer umpires will be needed and appreciated more than ever in 2021. We hope YOU will step up to be a part of it all, and help our crew to do our small part in getting our young ballplayers back on the field!

Rules Presentations
Little League West Region Umpire Instructors Gary Graupmann and Dave Miller have done an outstanding job preparing three concise rules presentations for us in 2021. Watch them here:

Mechanics Clinics
Mukilteo Little League expects to host two on-field umpire mechanics clinics in early April, prior the start of regular season play. Check back for details.

Modified Umpire Procedures for 2021
Mukilteo Little League has developed a plan for modified umpire procedures in 2021 that adhere to all State health and safety requirements as well as recommendations from Little League and WIAA. The final document will be available here in mid-March.

Umpire Self-Scheduling
One thing that won't change in 2021 is the method we use to assign umpires to games! Again in 2021 we will utilize our shared Google Sheet, where volunteer umpires may self-assign to games and where Team Managers may confirm that their team's games are covered. The link to that form will be available here as the start of the regular-season approaches.
