We are about in a month of the summer camp season for high school ball. And I have noticed something while being a clinician or even working games with fellow officials that seems a little disturbing.

Very few officials use their voice in any meaningful way. They do not talk to their partners or tell the players much of anything with their voice. I am just wondering if this is common around the country or something that I am just seeing. It was said by another fellow official who is participating at camps that about 90% of the officials he sees could use their voice more. Either they are keeping the whistle in their mouth or they are as quite as a mouse.

Peace
