The 2025 Petaluma Valley Little League season is almost upon us. I would like to take a moment and introduce myself, along with Kevin Bordessa, as the Co-Umpire-in-Chiefs of Petaluma Valley. This will be my fourth year as part of the Petaluma Valley Little League. My third Year as a board member, and Umpire. For as long as I've been here at Petaluma Valley, we have relied on our fantastic group of Umpires to help facilitate games. This year will be no different. We are looking for umpires who are willing to contribute their time this year. If you are willing to participate as an Umpire, please reach out to myself or Kevin. Even just a few games would be greatly appreciated!

1. Umpire Clinic

For those who are new or returning, District 35 is hosting a Mechanics (on field) Umpire Clinic on Saturday, February 15th 2025 at 9:00am until 2:00pm on Petaluma National's Carter Field. If you are interested in umpiring, you must attend the clinic.

District 35 would also like all attendees to watch at least the first three training videos before attending to maximize their in-person learning: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKVgYaVGCIeYPiz-pLuT_TX3bmvilFqHN
