Choosing an Umpire School/Clinic?????

[edhern]

I've been to the Southern Umpires Clinic and it was excellent. Paul Nauert displayed his great knowledge of the rules. The major league umps for the most part were great in the cage work. When I went Gerry Davis, Ed Hickox and Steve Rippley did the cages. Gerry and Ed were especially helpful. I also attended the Northeast Umpires Clinic and their advanced clinic. I have nothing but praise for both. Matt Hollowell and the team of major and minor league umpires that he has assembled are truly student oriented. The cage work is excellent and the interaction is great. The advanced clinic is coming up in mid November and the basic clinic is in Feb. They are all in Northern New Jersey, easily accesible from many mid-Atlantic and Northeaster areas. Check it out, info is posted on this and other umpire boards.
