I don't know that I would call it the best school that I have ever been through - but ASA's national umpire scjhool was very worthwhile. I got more out of the classroom sessions than the clinic sessions, but there was still something beneficial to be had in the mechanics sessions. What I found most beneficial was the hospitality room discussions. Where else can you have access to several members of the national staff, several state uic's, several district uic's, and a bunch of pretty knowledgable umpires?
If you are looking for benefit, you will find it. If you are looking for specific answers and explanations, you'll find those in the hopsitality room where there is no schedule or time table to keep.
Jeff - You will gain something from attending. The last one I went to was in Philly with a couple of guys from your area - Carl & Gerry. Make sure you do Luau's state clinic as he has modelled it on the national school. This year's is done - it's in Feb in or around Harrisburg.
