Umpire Clinic

[U_of_I_Blue]

I have offered to assign umpires for our local rec league. I have umpired for them for the past 4 years (this will make 5). All of the umpires besides me have had no formal training, they are all just players off of the high school team. It is unfortunate because we live in a small town and funds are not readily availiable to pay certified umpires, so we must live with what we have. However, I want to try and change that a little if I can. I'd like to have a 1 day mini clinic (probably on a saturday morning) and go over some basics with them. Just curious as to what topics you would cover if I gave you 3 hours to impart softball umpiring knowledge on them. Any and all input would be greatly appreciated.
