It can be anywhere in the county and always have adult supervision. Even though it sometimes seems to be so, the umpire is not the only adult on site. The issue is that NFHS (an admin and coach driven organization) is dumping the coach's and AD's responsibilities on the umpires and that is not why the umpire is there.
