I'll agree with a lot of what's already been said. About 90% of my games are softball, but that's not really an issue - burnout is burnout. I'll do 270-300 games each year from March into November and the levels vary from LL baseball through high school softball, Legion baseball, college and adult softball. The weather changes from needing gloves and every other piece of cold-weather gear to hot enough that I'll sweat off more than 30 lbs in a weekend. I assign, evaluate, and train. When I take a vacation, I leave the area and have nothing to do with umpires or umpiring. It is a strenuous "road" you're looking at going down.
