Just to give you another perspective, around here the NFHS baseball umpires and softball umpires are totally separate entities. They have their own associations, their own meetings, do their own training and testing, do their own scheduling and never the twain shall meet.
Trying to keep dual-certifications for both sports can be tough. I've been going the ASA softball/NFHS baseball route for the past few years. The baseball training around here is pretty intense, but the training available for softball is far, far behind.
Imagine how thrilled I was to find out that an ASA state umpires clinic was finally going to be held in my area (well, about 2 hours south of me, but close enough).
Then, imagine how disappointed I was to find out that our local baseball umpire association has a field clinic scheduled for the very same day!
I'm leaning toward the ASA clinic, as I have attended the annual baseball clinic for several years.
