Umpire school continues weekly at RBVLL. We will be working on rules knowledge, the Basic Six, and game day situations. All are welcome.
Next class: This Saturday morning, 31 October, at 8:30am.
The first part of each session will be geared toward rules knowledge, and will offer coaches, managers, parents and umpires a better working knowledge of the Little League baseball rule book. The second part will be on the field training, working a Majors game. If you think you're ready to work behind the plate, don't forget your "protection", gentlemen.
We're lucky enough to have a large number of highly skilled instructors at our disposal this year, including several graduates of Western Region's Junior Umpire Training School. If any of you on this huge mailing list would like to volunteer to help teach on a spare Saturday morning, we'd love to have you.
Please feel free to distribute this email to anyone you might think would either benefit from a rules clinic, wish to start umpiring, or to want to sharpen their umpiring skills. There is no cost, and no obligation whatsoever. If you can't make the first session, feel free to drop in at any time.

RBVLL Partners with Positive Coaching Alliance
RBVLL and Little League International have partnered with the Positive Coaching Alliance (PCA) for the 2007 season. This partnership will provide our league managers with the opportunity to complete an on-line certification course and become a "double goal" coach. This program is not just for our managers, but for all parents, coaches, and volunteers supporting the RBVLL program. You'll hear terms such as "honoring the game" and "filling emotional tanks" as we work with PCA to provide support and guidance to the youth of our league.
As an introduction, please take the time to view the following on-line presentation. It provides a great introduction into the philosophy we intend to follow at RBVLL and the culture we are promoting:
The National Advisory Board for PCA reads like a "Who's Who" of professional athletes and Hall of Famers. The lengthy list includes: Phil Jackson, Larry Brown, Barry Zito, Nadia Comaneci, Dean Smith, Ronnie Lott, just to name a few.
Check out the site and learn what PCA is about and help us continue to deliver the best LL baseball program in Southern California.
