Lake Stevens Little League

Because we do not have paid umpires our league relies on volunteers to fill this important role. All head coaches are expected to be able to either umpire for games within their divisions or find volunteers who are willing to step up. As a league we are only as good as our facilities, coaches and our umpires. It is our goal to provide the learning opportunities for those that are willing to do the job. There will be a training clinic offered at the Sports Shed that will  be mandatory for all head coaches. Additionally we have the support of District 1 and our amazing UIC Jason Becker who will be offering multiple training opportunities and rules clinics through out the Spring. Those dates will be added here as the become available.

District One UICs, Presidents, and Umpires:

Today I'm very happy to announce the dates and locations for our 2026 District One Umpire Training events. Put these dates on your league calendars and over the coming months please help me get the word out so we can help as many of your umpire learners as we can!


2026 Umpire Mechanics ClinicThis very full, very fun day covers 60’ mechanics—that is, Major Baseball and below and all divisions of Softball. Your volunteer umpires will receive instruction and practice in plate work, field mechanics, game management, and the “spirit” of Little League umpiring. Our goal is to get your umpires prepared, confident and excited to get out and start working games once your season starts!


2026 Rules ClinicsThese four-hour rules clinics were a big success in 2025 and considered very worthwhile for those who attended. You are strongly encouraged to send both your umpiresandcoaches to these clinics—the more we are hearing the same information, speaking the same language, and "on the same page," the better our games will go in 2026!


2026 Teen Baseball Umpire Mechanics Clinic
  • Saturday, April 11 (time & location TBD)
Our 70' and 90' fields come with some different mechanics and expectations than our 60' fields, so we will again provide a special training specifically suited for the volunteer umpires working these games.
