First, Little League covers ages from 6 years old (sometimes younger) through 18 years old. So, there are many, many Little League umpires with experience and training on the big field.

As I said in my post, I was talking about guys who work 60 foot baseball only.

I would pit our local volunteer organization that does mostly Little League against the local paid organization that does High School any day of the week. From my experience, ALL of our volunteer guys would be better than ANY of the paid guys, with the exception of 5 or 6 of the paid guys, who are quite good.

Are you saying the volunteer guys are better than the whole HS association, or just the guys who work BR also? I bet there are some very good officials who also work football and basketball who don't want to fool around with kid baseball durring the summer.

No. Federation rules are much much closer to the OBR than LL rules. Baseball with no leadoffs is called softball.
