In accordance with Little League International, Anaheim Hills Little League (AHLL) uses volunteer umpires (parents / guardians /adult volunteers and Junior Umpires).

Each team (Single A, AA, AAA, & Majors) is required to staff at least two league-trained umpires per season.  Umpires will be scheduled for all Intermediate, Majors, AAA, AA and Single A games as per AHLL by-laws. 

Information regarding free umpire and rules clinics is listed below and attendance is required for prospective umpires, coaches, and managers.

All necessary equipment is provided by AHLL.

AHLL endeavors to grow its Junior/Youth Umpire Program and to keep its current & former players connected with the league.

Junior/Youth Umpires may umpire games at the Single A, AA & AAA levels (and Majors level with UIC approval).  Junior/Youth Umpires must be at least 12 years of age (i.e. players in their final Little League season in our Majors Division).   12 year-old umpires are encouraged to work games with their parent/guardian. 

Umpires 13 years or older may work solo or with a partner.

All training and equipment is provided by AHLL. 

Junior/Youth Umpires are paid the following for their support:

AA / AAA / Majors: $40 for working home plate and $30 for working the bases.
Single A: $30 for working home plate and $20 for working the bases.
