Are you interested in umpiring for the 2026 spring Ballard Little League season? 

Ballard Little League is looking for interested umpires for baseball and softball this year! 

We provide training and a stipend of $30-$40 a game or earn high school community service credit! The Junior Umpire Program is for anyone aged 12-18. 

You will be trained, provided with equipment and paid. This is also a great opportunity for any community service credit you might need and learning how to umpire will only help you be a better player yourself. Umpires can set your own schedule this spring - work as many or as few games as you like! Any games that you can help out with will make a difference for our players and our program and continue allowing us to provide baseball and softball opportunities to Ballard kids.
