I come from a much smaller softball community.. I take it you dont know these people?
In my area.. the ASA /NFHS people.. are the same essentially, especially at the top.
My point is.. have you called them and confirmed there is a no way to make the transition, considering your long time ASA back ground etc?
Obviously, regionals are probably out for your first year.. but if they need umpires.. a little smarts wouldnt be bad.
In our area, ASA clinics count towards your NFHS (assoc?) mandatory 16 hours of training.. so 16 hours is nothing really to me.. I did go to two of the NFHS clinics/meeting though.
maybe if you attended one NFHS SB meeting.
