What does that have to do with anything? Are they D1 umpires? Are they former pro umpires? When I say training I am not talking about specific position, I am talking about being able to step into any level or situation and understand what it takes to handle that situation. And most of the time the lower levels in all sports suffer because of that fact. Nothing unique to LL, but youth sports in general. Lower levels are used as a stepping ground, not a landing place for most umpires/officials to get to another goal.

Peace
