Make the Call

Umpires are needed for the 2023 season. 

Having well-trained umpires is vital to the safety, timely flow and enjoyment of all of our games, and umpiring offers a tremendous opportunity for young members of our community to develop their leadership skills. It also helps coaches understand the game better. 

Umping is a paid position, and training for Glebe umpires is provided by Little League with an umping clinic in the spring.  Youth, 13 years (as of May 1) are eligible to apply.

Each Spring Glebe Little league partners with the South Ottawa Little League to provide an umpires clinic where Little League baseball rules are reviewed and questions are answered.  This course is mandatory for anyone who has not acted as an umpire in the past but who wants to ump within GLL that year.

GLL also operates a one-day refresher course that covers changes to rules and also how to handle more difficult occurences where special rules apply.  Umping resources is also posted on GLL's Umpiring page.
