Really? According to Andy Konyar tLL's national umpire coordinator, it is LL's national policy to not pay umpires. All adults who work with Little League: coaches, board members, umpires, etc. are supposed to be volunteers. [/B]

I do not give a crap what it is suppose to be, the reality is that many "local associations" pay the umpires that decide to do it.
In the town where I began umpiring, the local Park District had an Umpire group. And the Umpire group ran was ahead of all the umpires that worked on any of the Park District Fields. And no one did it for free. If you worked LL or Pony or Legion, you got paid for it. And the people that assigned you, were working thru the Park District.
I do not care what it is suppose to be, but many are paid. If they did not pay, umpires would go other places and make sure they are paid.
