My son

[dddunn3d]

My son is 13, has been playing ball of some sort for eight years. He has always wanted to umpire, so I told him that this year, after he has some playing experience on a real-size diamond, I would teach him what I know (insert your own joke here).

My question is: How should I go about this endeavor? Where should I start, etc? I have explained some of the more esoteric (to a young player anyway) rules to him as they have happened in his games through the years, so I'm really looking for mechanics education techniques and such.

Thanks much in advance,
