Question 1

Is this for me if I have never umpired before?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We will demonstrate and run drills to help you prepare for situations that you will see on the field. It's an excellent way to prepare to umpire.

Question 2

Should I bother if I am an experienced umpire?

Accepted Answer

This will give you the opportunity to dust off the cobwebs prior to the start of the season. Also, we're going to share some new information based on new instruction from West Region.

Question 3

Is this a small diamond or big diamond clinic?

Accepted Answer

We will be running position and rotation drills on the small diamond (i.e., 60' base paths), however most of the principles apply equally to the big diamond (i.e., 70'+ base paths). Where possible, we will give some additional guidance about how they differ.
