Our local association holds 3 rule and procedure clinics in February and March. To receive full pay for the season, umpires must attend at least 2 clinics and pass the ASA exam. The ASA state clinic counts towards the required clinics, and also makes you eligible to call any State, Regional or National tournaments.
Unfortunately, there's no gym or practice time. It's all demonstrations by veteran umpires under the supervision of our state UIC. However, for those who want to call FP, they do allow the option of calling some scrimmage games under the supervision of the trainers. SP umpires do not have this option.
Sounds like I need to take a trip to Seattle!

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!
Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!
I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
