You are in a tough spot. If you start your own association you might never get games to work. Since you have no credibility (no offense intended) you won't be taken seriously if you try to run a clinic. Why not get someone who they respect to do training such as a clinician (Contact the local high school association they would be happy to help) who trains Fed Umpires. In the meantime try to get involved as a board member and work within the organization to change their attitude. Rather than work with "the good old boys" try to find a partner who shares your desire to use proper mechanics. The Coaches will notice if you and your partner do a good job. Good Luck.
