Umpire Training
 

I am 20 years old and I was an umpire once when I was a junior in high school. I was good, but not great. My first call behind the plate was, "Ball, strike, Ball," needless to say I need some training. I live in Atlanta Georgia. Does anyone know how I can find a school. Not a big deal school, just something to help my mechanics.

Thanks,
Robert

Well, i can't help you with the school part, but the next best thing live training is a tape. A good mechanics tape is one with Al Kaplon. I believe this is it:

Also, if you want help in Atlanta, go to the nfhs message board (http://www.nfhs.org/scriptcontent/va...ubb=forum;f=10) and contact the person named "AtlBlue".

Hope this helps, and good luck.

Right there in Atlanta:
