Umpires needed for Summer Baseball/Softball Program

The Park District is looking for umpires to work our recreational baseball and softball leagues this summer. The season begins May 9th and ends July 1st. We are looking for umpires that have some experience in either baseball or softball. The summer league consists of boys and girls 8U-10U-12U and we need umpires for these three divisions. If you think that you would be interested in umpiring, please come to the park district and fill out an application. Umpires will make $25/game for all three divisions.
