I ump little league and some Jr high and i havent ever had to take or been asked to take a course. I know if i wanted to umpire Highschool i would have to get a card and take the course. I guess i get a lil leeway since the people who own the parks still remember me playing there and i played all the way through college. Its actually a pretty good gig. When i do little league tournaments, I usually do 10yrs to 12 yrs old and i get paid 20 bucks a game cash . This weekend i did 20 games in 3 days. I also get all the free food and drink i need. When i do Jr High or little league away from the city ( small towns around where my family live) i get 35 bucks a game if i have a partner or 60 bucks if i can do them by myself. It gets to be pretty lucrative since i get paid well and i enjoy the work immensely. This is just a 2nd job but i love it. The only downfall is it is 100 degrees outside right now and that sucks. We started umping late February though and it will go to November or so.....
