Thank you to those who have completed the required background check. Here is important information about the 2025 Spring Little League season.

All umpires for Arroyo Grande Valley Little League are required to complete and pass a background check every season. 

WE WELCOME YOUTH UMPIRES! Many of our umpires for our Minors division are past AGVLL players and middle school/high school students. High School students can earn their community service credits. We will get them trained. If you have someone under 18 who is interested in umpiring, please contact our umpire in chief, Trevor Coville: [email protected]

Opening Day:  March 7, 2026

Divisions:

• Juniors (13-15 yr olds)
  
• Majors (10-12 yr olds) 
• Minors (8-10 yr olds)

Umpires Clinic:

• February 21, 2026 at 9 am on Pilg Field.
• The umpire clinic will review little league rules and basic umpire mechanics.
• We encourage novice or new umpires to attend. If you want to attend but cannot make it then let us know and we can meet one-on-one.
• Attendance is not required, but if you are new to umpiring or AGVLL you and the Umpire In Chief must talk before you umpire your first game.

Game Days, Times & Locations:

• Majors games are played on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday.

• Midweek game start times are at 5PM.
• Saturday games start at 9am with games running every 2 or 2 1/2 hours depending on the division.
  

Equipment: 

• If you don't have your own equipment then the league will provide new umpires with your own mask, ball bag, plate brush and clicker.
• Each score booth at the fields has two sets of shine guards and chest protector. These can be used for the game and returned to the score booth after the game.

Umpire Pay:

• Over the years the league has had a mix of volunteer and paid umpires, depending on the division and need. Starting this season we will pay umpires in all the divisions. Pay will depend upon division and if the game is umpired solo or with a two person crew

• If you wish to not be paid then please let us know.
• Check are processed every two weeks and mailed out.

Livescan Fingerprinting:

• Livescan info is here. You need to fill out an application and make an appointment. AGVLL will cover the fee.  You only need to complete live scan once for AGVLL.

Background Check:

• The JDP Background check is required every year, and will be emailed to you after you sign up as a volunteer.  

Schedule:

• Once the game schedules are made we will send out an email to you that will have a link to sign up for games. We anticipate the schedule will be done by mid-February.

We cannot have a successful little league season without umpires. Thank you for umpiring for Arroyo Grande Valley Little League.
