Ithaca Baseball is now recruiting umpires for the 2026 Cal Ripken seasons!
Our youth umpiring program gives participants the chance to build valuable skills—such as communication, leadership, and quick decision-making—while earning some extra cash.
Umpires must be 13 or older and have a basic understanding of baseball rules. No experience is necessary—all umpires receive training.
If you are interested in being an umpire, please submit an interest form and we will be in touch.
