A Message To All Participating VSTUA Challenger Jamboree Umpires

To the wonderful Virginia State Tournament Umpires,

On behalf of the committee for the Little League Worldwide Challenger Jamboree, I just want to express my appreciation and gratitude for umpiring at this year’s event. For the many of you to travel the distance that you did and give up your weekend was truly remarkable. It was such a pleasure to see a large number of “blues” volunteering their time to take the field and make this a memorable event for the Challenger players. And to see that you treated it with the same energy that you do for a tournament game was spectacular. I’m sorry that I didn’t get to meet and greet each one of you, but I hope you were treated well by everyone here. I do hope you had a great time and will return next year.
