We are preparing to hold a new umpire school this fall.

Here are the subjects we will cover:

1. Proper Uniforms and gear
2. Signals
3. Plate and Base mechanics
4. Rule Book overview.

Remembering that our audience is brand new umpires or umpires with less than a year of experience, is that anything else that should be included?

We are planning on a two-day, 8:00 am - 5:00 pm school, also spending time on the field with some drills and, hopefully, some live scrimmage play.
