I will just say this. Many leagues have a requirement that their umpires become licensed. Part of that reason is that there is a higher level of accountability in our state with everyone involved. You have to go through a series of things to work HS ball here. Anyone can work the little leagues or many summer ball and not have any training or real expectations.
