The 2024 DMLL umpire assignment schedule - with the most recent updates - is available here:

New umpires are required to first attend an umpires mechanics clinic taught by Western Region Little League trained instructors. Once the clinic is completed, new umpires can then be assigned games on the umpire schedule. More details for new umpires regarding the program on the "Program Details" page (under Umpires).
There are currently only two umpire mechanics clinic training prior to the start of the 2024 season. Please plan to attend one of the following clinics this year (and keep checking back if they state "sold out" - more space is likely to be added). Registration is required to attend:
- Saturday, February 10th; 9am-1pm
@ Poway American Little League (Tierra Bonita Elementary School, 14678 Tierra Bonita Rd)

We like to have one or more short (75 minutes) umpire meetings online (via Zoom) during the season. These are scheduled on mid-week evenings (Mon, Tue, or Wed) from 7:15-8:30 p.m. There will be a lively discussion of rules and game management for participants.
Meeting dates for 2024 (via Zoom):

Our youth umpire program is intended as a leadership development program for local youth in the community. Our participants gain self-confidence and learn people skills that last a lifetime.
For game assignments, send requests via email including game date, time, and field. Without this information, the request(s) will be delayed.
Thank you for your interest and participation in the umpire program at DMLL. See you on the ball field!
Regards,
