Question Info about Atlanta, GA area.

We are considering moving from California, to the Atlanta, GA area, around July - August of this year.

We are looking at the small cities just north of Atlanta.

Does anybody have contact information I could use to start talking to the associations out there ?

How is the baseball out there ?

Do they have a need for umpires ? Here in CA, we can't find enough, so getting a full schedule is never an issue. We work from March thru October, up to 6 days a week (Tues. - Sun.)

Interested in High School, College, Youth Travel, and Adult Pay-To-Play.

Thanks for any assistance.

Come on out, we're all severely under staffed and this is an exploding area especially in the Metro Atlanta Area. There are several excellent associations, it all depends on the part of town you live in, though I suggest us! Central Georgia Officials Association. We're smaller than some of the main groups and have more opportunity for good umpires. We also are devoid (something I was just thrilled to encounter) of the poisonous politics you can find at some of the others. That said, the high school ball is abundant and for the most part very good. There are many college programs at different levels, and the weather is typically great, though I've seen a lot of new people to the area wilt in the truly hot summer months. Look at the southside of town as opposed to the north, not as much traffic, lots of great baseball.

Oops, not to mention property values and just how much you get for the money. You really owe it to yourself to examine this issue closely. That $400,000.00 house in Alpharetta is $250,000.00 in Newnan.

You should go on the eteamz or NFHS board and contact a person who goes by "atlanta blue"

I hear that the GHSAA does not allow the use of goalie style masks. You may want to consider moving to a different state.

The goalie mask is approved, in use, and looks horrible.
