Interested in Umpiring?  Temecula Little League is always looking for new umpires!

As our league continues to grow, so does Temecula Little league’s need to fill our ever-growing team of Umpires.  Recruiting and training people who want to get paid as an umpire is a priority to help our league continue in its success!  Anyone can become an umpire (moms, dads, brothers, sisters, friends and more!)  All we ask is that you be at least 13 years old and have a passion for the game. 

Umpire clinics are available for training new umpires, as well as refreshers for continuing umpires, and our TLL board volunteers work to support umpires throughout the process of joining the team!

TLL operates in both Fall and Spring seasons, both of which have evening weekday games, as well as throughout the day on Saturdays.  As an umpire, you will get to select the times and games you can accommodate, and easily work around your schedule. You can work as much or as little as you’re comfortable with!
