However, most of the Jr. High and High School seasons, I'm a student at the university of Illinois without a car, so tough to umpire under those circumstances. I got a call about a month ago though from my old AD from high school who had a guy cancel on him and he needed someone to fill. It was after I finished up school so I said sure. Relatively uneventful 20-8 in 6 innings.

I've been reading as much as I can to try and keep my rules and mechanics knowledge fresh since i only get the opportunity to umpire 3 out of the 12 months of the year. Thanks very much for the insight and knowledge that you all have provided me. Hope all is going well for you all.

It's not a bad job for a college student. Lack of car makes it hard. But it's better than bagging groceries and more fun. I don't know about Illinois but if you had car around here you could umpire 10 months out of the year. And then there is basketball, football, etc.
