If I am not mistaken at this point, there are serveral guys here who train new umpires for their local associations.

How many hours in class and on the field do you send with your newbies? My state requires 25 hours of class/field work. I really feel constricted with that many hours. I find it hard to get through the FED rules in a detailed way and do any kind of decent mechanics work at all. How many of you get your new guys in a cage, or see live pitching before games and scrimmages?

How do you divide your time?

Thanks for your imput.
