How many of them have actually been to a 5 week camp? Fat Harry's Fantasy Camp or Jim Evan's clinic? Just curious to see who actually has some GOOD training behind them.

So you think that you have to go to the Pro camp to be an umpire? Let me tell you a little something, some of the worst High School and NCAA umpires I've worked with are the ones that went to Pro School. They have attitudes and refuse to work the way the associations dictate. "I went to the school so I should know how to do it". Do some High School games and if you are good enough, graduate to NCAA. Then if you want, you can go to school.

Got to agree with Ozzy on this. I am in no way discouraging attendance at camps however, some that go to camps too early, do get that "I know it all attitude". Never attended myself, which is my bad.
Once worked with a partner that told me about all the training and camps he had attented but, evidently forgot everthing on the first throw to second. PLOP, right in the back. Funny, but true story.
