I concur with zebraman 100%. Umpire is a piece of cake. When I first started 7 yrs ago it was at umpire and I love every minute of it. I've heard alot of wingmen say they don't want to do U because there's too much to watch and it's too dangerous. Baloney! It takes focus and concentration and there are some "exceptions" to be aware of but if you read your keys everything just fall in to place. And as for the danger, in seven years i've only been knocked down twice and those were only from players being blocked into me from my backside as the play went downfield. Once you learn it, it's the simplest position in the world. Much better than getting your butt chewed by a coach every other play.
