Want to be in charge? Make the final call? Wear a snazzy uniform?
All of that (and more) can be yours if you step up and help local baseball and softball players by volunteering as an umpire with Central Whidbey Little League.
CWLL, which closes player registration Feb. 28, has two umpires in place for this spring, but needs more to be able to pull off the season.
James Meek, Umpire in Charge for the league, has issued the following statement:
Hello Central Whidbey Community!
I hope this letter finds you well.
I am reaching out on behalf of Central Whidbey Little League to seek assistance with our umpiring needs for the upcoming season.
Our league provides a positive and structured environment where young athletes can develop their skills, sportsmanship, and love for the game.
However, to ensure a successful season, we rely on dedicated volunteers and community members to help officiate our games.
We need umpires to support our teams and keep our games running smoothly.
Whether you are an experienced umpire or someone willing to learn, we welcome all levels of involvement.
Training and resources can be provided for those new to the role, and any time you can contribute would be greatly appreciated.
We currently have two committed umpires. However, we have softball, and minor and major league baseball needing umpires.
Your support would significantly impact our players, coaches, and the overall experience of our league.
If you or someone you know is interested in assisting with umpiring, please contact me at (360) 320-3717 or through Facebook Messenger.
We truly appreciate your consideration and any help you can offer.
Thank you for your time and support keeping youth baseball and softball a thriving part of our community.
We look forward to hearing from you soon.
Best regards,
James Meek
