Info about dragging the foot and base runner interference have my head spinning. I started getting interested when I was umping for my daughter's rec league games as a parent volunteer. It seems I have a knack for it and I can ignore the more boisterous fans out there. I asked a couple of coach friends and they said they'd get me in touch with the right people. Am I getting in over my head or is this something I can learn? It seems ASA(?) is the association I should look into, is this correct? Is there a way to read the rules on line. And last but not least, how do I go about taking this test I read about? It sounds like a lot of fun, I hope I'm not getting in over my head. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,

Good luck with Softball, Dave.
I started this thing at around 42 years old, and today I don't suck as bad as I used to.
