Thank you for your interest in the Gilbert American umpire program!!!
Our league does not just focus on the baseball players, we also take pride in developing young umpires. Umpiring can be extremely rewarding for a number of reasons. As an umpire, you gain a deeper knowledge of the game, develop self confidence and independence. We offer all the training and equipment you will need. No prior experience is required and we will not put an umpire in a position he or she is not ready for. Our league works with our own umpire coordinators in addition to umpire coordinators at the district level. Our most inexperienced umpires start at the youngest levels and "work their way up" to the older levels as they age and develop in skill. The minimum age for working as an umpire is league age 13.
Our league is considered one of the best development programs for umpires. Again, we take a lot of pride in these young people and their growth. As parents, please recognize that our umpires are part of our league, and we are working to develop them just as much as your players.
If you would like more information please contact our Umpire Coordinator.
