What is the big deal about American Legion as if you have to be God's gift to umpiring to work it?

Legion is still the most competitive league in the south, but we like to use that league to train our "up and coming" young umpires during the summer.
We will team them with a veteran to help with training, but seems to work very well.
We have the wooden bat leagues, and although they have college players, its not that competitive to me, its just something the players are doing to bide the summer.
It is kind of funny to watch them try and hit with a wood bat though after using aluminum etc., during the season.
