The Umpire Mechanics Clinic to be held on April 22-24, 2022, will be conducted outside using the field facilities at Little League International. Should we experience inclement weather all field exercises and plate work will be conducted indoors. Students must be a minimum of eighteen years old to attend this clinic. Enrollment in this clinic will be limited to forty (40) participants. The cost of the clinic is $135.00 per student.
Protective equipment will be needed for this clinic. Each student attending the clinic will need to provide their own equipment including an umpire hat, indicator for balls and strikes, baseball glove, mask, and complete plate gear (if they have it). The Umpire Mechanics Clinic emphasizes and offers training on both plate and base mechanics in the 2-umpire system.
The clinic fee pays for, three meals on Saturday and two meals on Sunday, and lodging on-site in the Creighton J. Hale International Grove where the players stay during the World Series each summer.
Due to the on-going pandemic, it is imperative that you understand the following: “Little League reserves the right to implement mitigation efforts at tournaments that may include, but not limited to, masking, testing, and vaccination requirements.”
