As far as baseball, my NCAA assignor frowns on carrying one while a BU.

Also, to make the statement that you need to be in better shape to work softball than baseball... I disagree. I know lots of SP umpires who work softball because they can no longer keep up on the big diamond, so that will never hold water with me...
That is an excuse, not a reason. The field is only smaller in dimensions. The little ball game umpire cuts the coverage area by working inside with a runner on base, softball stays outside, but must still cover the plays accross the field.
