Two clinics are in the southeast. The Southern Umpires Camp is excellent (I went last year). It is based in Atlanta and always has pros on hand to work with students on plate work and Paul Nauert and Brian Hale from Wendelstadt run the field work. It is 4 days. Ed Hickock runs a camp in Florida around the same time in Feb with a number of minor umpires. Jim Evans has his week (which is said to be one of the top short programs), the first week of Jan. in Fla. if you want to go further north Matt Hollowell runs the Northeast Umpire Clinic in NJ around the same time in Feb. He uses some of the newer pro umps and some minor leaguers. It also was excellent (I went this year to their first camp). There are also a few others around (Virginia). Referee mag has ads in the back.
