I'm 20 yrs old, played baseball my whole life, got injured and missed the boat on college ball, but love to umpire. I am newly registered, would i be entirely over my head at a camp of this sort? Also curious because i am friends with one of Mike Reilly's sons and would like to meet the man, the myth, the legend haha.
