Not old enough to have children playing, but I have umpired for my OLDER sister before...not a fun time, but both teams were okay with it.
More likely than not, I end up with this situation: Umpiring high school/college games for schools that have one or more player that I have UMPIRED with. Usually I'll call the two schools ahead of time to see if it is okay with them and then I'll adjust if needed. I umpire 300 fastpitch games a year so I'm quite known (good or bad). It's hard not to do a game where someone on either team doesn't know me...I'm sure it's the same for many of you out there.
