Umpire mechanics define how umpires move on the field. Proper mechanics is a skill that all umpires should try to learn from trained instructors as early as possible and throughout their career. To learn it requires training, practice, thoughtfulness, discipline and time.

District 68 provides training to volunteers in each of the local leagues, including Viejo Little League. All umpires are highly encouraged to attend both a Rules Clinic and Umpire Mechanics Clinic each season.
