Our Cadet Umpire Training course covers the basics in umpiring and controlling a youth softball or baseball game. You’ll learn the rules and how to apply them to real game situations. Taught by Lawrence Township adult umpires with over 20 years of professional experience, you’ll be certified to work Lawrence Little League Rookies and Minors Games at the conclusion of the session.
Cadets set their own game schedule and can work when they are free. Games are weeknights from 6-8pm, and Saturdays at 11 or 1pm. Sunday and Tournament work is available at higher pay.
You Will Learn:

Academy graduates earn $30 for each LTJBSA game they umpire, with bonus pay issued for working certain game totals in a season. Umpires are paid immediately after their game, and a shirt and plate equipment is provided.
