moved to Atlanta
 

....this past week. Anyone on the forum from the Atlanta area who can point me to a good association? :cool:

What level of ball do you call?
 

I just attended the International Umpires Camp in Atlanta last weekend. It was hosted by Tony Thompson, assigner for multiple college conferences in the south. I knew that before I attended. What I was surprised to find out is that Tony also is the assigner or significant member/President of The Multi-County Umpires Association which handles most of the youth ball and high school ball in the greater Atlanta area. A good number of Multi-County members were at the camp and they were good umpires. An impressive group. There is also the local college association, Southern Collegiate Umpires Association. Tony assigns local college non-conference games through that association. Another excellent group of umpires. Many do and will soon be calling D1 games for Tony and the conferences he manages.

Tony has a website for his camps that contains his e-mail and phone contact information.

I hope this helps some.

I am sure there are other associations but these two seem to have what I would deem as better umpires, dedicated to the profession/avocation.

Good luck in your new location LMan.

This is kind of weird...I was just wondering where you disappeared to again.

WJR runs an association in the ATL. Look him up and see how that works out for you, Lman.


Tim.

Thanks for the help, I'll check 'em out :)
