Every association has good and bad umpires - based on the leadership of the association in the area. A lot of it is demographics - different associations have a different presence geographically - so do the best whereever you are and whatever association you have to work in within your area. Bottom line is learn the rules, hustle, be in position, and be professional - in attitude and in the way you look. If you do those things, you will be on your way to becoming a good umpire.
