Castle Hill Little League is currently seeking volunteers to join our umpire staff for the upcoming 2007 baseball season. Serving as an umpire is one of the most important volunteer services that an individual can offer to the children in our sports program.  As a member of our umpire staff, volunteers will participate in an umpire training program where they will be given an opportunity to become a certified umpire.  The league will pay for the cost of the umpire program for those who wish to participate and volunteer as a Castle Hill Little League umpire.  For more information, contact Imani Loyce (Chief Umpire).

• RULE OF THE WEEK:  Are hands considered part of the bat?

Answer:  The hands are part of a person's body.  If a pitch hits the batter's hands, the ball is dead; if the batter swung at the pitch, a strike is called (NOT a foul); if the batter was avoiding the pitch, then the batter is awarded first base.

Rule: 2.00 PERSON, TOUCH, STRIKE (e) and 6.05(f) Official Baseball Rules
