I've previewed these out of curiosity for newer umpires in our HS association, and I think it may be of value to newer umpires. Seems to me, from your link, that there are two courses: officiation and softball methods. Both would be of value to newer officials, and could be good review for veterans.
I'm contacting my HS assignor to see if he'll flip the bill for it (for me), to see if it would be of use for our newer officials.
(And as an educator, 75 bucks isn't out of line for an online course. I just took one for graduate school--probably a little more substantial, but you get the jist--and it cost me 600 bucks).
