Alpine's youth umpire program is - in essence - another division of our league.  We spend considerable time and resources training and mentoring our youth umpires to develop their skills.  We expect all of our coaches, parents and players to treat these umpires (both the youth umpires and the adult umpires) with respect.  Alpine has adopted this Policy on Umpire Interactions and we will take any violations of this policy very seriously. 

Several Alpine Little League divisions (Minors, PCL, Majors and Juniors) need a designated Scorekeeper (usually a parent on the team). This person will be the official Scorekeeper when their team is "Away." Scores/pitch counts will be kept in GameChanger. There are also training materials for GameChanger if you are not familiar with the app. Reach out to your team Manager if you would like to volunteer as the Scorekeeper. 

League rosters and team schedules will automatically be downloaded into the GameChanger app when they are finalized.

A few resources to help:

• The Role of the Scorekeeper
• GameChanger Tutorial
• GameChanger Cheat Sheet

A great tradition of Alpine Little League is Team Dinners after weeknight (and even sometimes weekend) games!  Historically this has been a Majors tradition but many lower division teams have done it too.  It’s a chance for families to stick around the field and grab a quick dinner together before heading home for the night.  The kids live for that post-game time to run around with their friends on the field.

Typically, families on the team take turns volunteering to host.  A family will end up hosting 1-2 times over the season.  This is by no means an obligation!  Your team Manager/team Parent can set up a sign-up for dinners.

At Ford Field, we STRONGLY encourage using All Sports Catering who runs the Snack Shack.  It works best when the 2 teams playing eeach other coordinate and order a combined dinner.  Supporting their business helps us keep the Snack Shack open!  All Sports Catering Menu here.  Check out the menu, see the order instructions at the end and send your order to  Brazill Harris.  Please get your order to Tim a couple days in advance!

For other fields, we've compiled some ideas for dinners that Alpine families have done in the past.  This list is not exhaustive.  Just some ideas to get you started!
