My personal opinion is that umps should stay away from any game lower than an advanced minor league. Not because the game (or kids) is not worthy of us, but because it should be purely instructional. Let the coaches (honestly) call the safes and outs, and teach the kids some fair play along the way. I know it can be done, I coached my son through T-Ball, A-ball (coach pitch), and AA-ball (machine pitch). Most coaches worked pretty well with each other - only one or two were somewhat aggressive.

Kono,
If someone called me to "ump" a T-ball game on Saturday morning, I would be really tempted.
Do you suppose the players would like, or dislike, a uniformed ump showing up at their games from time to time?
Nope, I have never done that, but maybe I would.... Maybe I'd go early and chalk the lines....
It could be a good deal for the players.
