"We need to develop a program where all parents need to go through some type of training on how to be an umpire it could wake them up a great deal."
It'll never happen. They already know more than the trained umps. What should be mandatory, is that all coaches must take a rules test, and pass with at least 80%, or they can't coach.
I never allowed a parent out of the stands to work with me. I found that they cause more trouble, than help. No knowledge of rules, mechanics, etc.
