Cooperstown Dreams Park and the American Youth Baseball Hall of Fame Umpires Association invites you to participate in our Cooperstown Dreams Park Umpire Program. As a guest of Cooperstown Dreams Park your stay will be expense free. Our Umpire Program has been developed and continues to grow because of the dedication and passion of those who are most responsible…you and your colleagues. It is your thoughts and ideas that guide us to enhance a program that attracts the most devoted umpires in the country. It is our pleasure to serve you.

It is here you will have the opportunity to create a deeper appreciation of an umpire's role in the game both on and off the field. Your involvement with the game's most prized ambassadors: the players, coaches and team family members preserves the game's most valuable lessons of hustle, sportsmanship, competition and fairness.

Cooperstown Dreams Park Umpire Program

In the words of an Umpire . . .

"I will never forget umpiring on the 4th of July as 'Old Glory' was waving in the breeze down the foul lines. How proud I was to be an American and umpire in Cooperstown at Dreams Park! What a gorgeous setting, the fields and the mountains in the background, and the summer splendor of the cool New York countryside. This was an awesome and incredible experience for a country boy from Mississippi."

In the words of an Umpire . . .

"Thank you from the bottom of my heart. From opening day, the games, through the American Youth Baseball Hall of Fame induction ceremony and receiving my ring ...... It was a Blast!! An umpire is suppose to be tough and have his heart on his sleeve. This place can bring an umpire to his knees. Thank you for the wonderful memories!"
