The Umpire Clinic for new and returning youth umpires in District 5 will take place on Sunday March 2 from 1:00PM to 4:00PM at Viewlynn Park. All new and returning umpires are expected to attend the training.
Youth umpires must sign up here to attend the clinic, and please arrive 15 minutes early to check in. Umpires must be at least 11 years old and will officiate games in divisions below their own. Please dress warmly and with proper footwear.
Being a youth umpire in Little League is a fun and rewarding experience that builds confidence and resiliency. It’s also a great way for young players to start earning money. Umpires will be invited to monthly meetings to review recent game scenarios and ask questions. With our highest registration numbers ever, LV will have lots of games from AA through to Majors that will need umpires. We will also be hosting our annual Canada Day 9 Selects tournament at Kilmer Park again, with a huge number of Umping shifts that will need to be filled.
NEW THIS YEAR! ADULT (19+) UMPIRE TRAINING
The Adult Umpire Training will take place on March 1st from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM at Viewlynn Park. Adult umpires play a crucial role in providing high-quality officiating while also mentoring and encouraging younger umpires. Ideally, each division will have at least five adult umpires. Adult Umpires that have completed the D5 Umpire training (sign-up below) will be compensated for the games they umpire at. Interested Adult Umpires must sign-up for the training via the link below:
2025 UMPIRE PAY
Our 2025 Umpires pay rates are TBA, but our youth umpires can expect to see an increase on last year’s rates. For the 2025 season, we’ve improved the payment process for quicker payments and will use TeamSnap for scheduling.
LVLL NOW HAS AN UMPIRE COORDINATOR
We’re excited to announce that LVLL coach and parent Paul Gross has joined our Board of Directors as Umpire Coordinator. Paul will serve as a key point of contact and mentor for youth umpires, as well as answer any questions/concerns from parents and coaches. We are thrilled that Bob Hodgins is returning as LVLL’s Umpire-In-Chief! Paul will work closely with Bob, as well as D5’s Umpire-in-Chief Jim Catania, to ensure our youth umpires are well-prepared and confident, especially for tournaments and playoffs.
