Special recognition goes to Ron Shoemaker, Billy Elder and Jilmar Reid for developing the training program we have today.

A special thanks to Dale Fabri and Ron Shoemaker for compiling this list. Without your work we could not have done it.

 If you are interested in going to a Regional or World series to Umpire, here are the guidelines.

To get a world series you must first complete a regional.

Regional games available are:

LLBB San Bernardino - World Series Williamsport Intermediate

BB Nogales - World Series Livermore CA

Jr BB Vancouver Wash - WORLD SERIES in Taylor Michigan

SR baseball Sacramento CA - WORLD SERIES in Easley SC

LLSB San Bernardino World Series in Portland Or.

JR SB Tucson AZ World Series in Greenville South Carolina

SR SB Missoula Mont World Series in Lower Sussex, Del

There is also the European Regional with game in the Netherlands, Poland and Italy. (save the airline miles) You are fed and housed at all tournaments.

We have changed our qualifications some. In the past you had to volunteer for the season you put in and the season you go. We will follow the LL directive of a volunteer the season you go. This is what we are looking for

1. Volunteer the season you go. (IF you are completely volunteer preferences will be given)

2. At least 5 years of baseball/softball experience.

3. Active in the district or one of the leagues.

4. For San Bernardino active on the staff.

5. Certified in the district.

6. Recommended by the District UIC.

7. Pass a background check To put in get the 2017 form off of the Little League or Western Region Website.

The district Administrator begins accepting forms in August/September and applications must be turned in sometime in October.  We hope to see more D2 Umpires putting in. Thanks for all you do!
