As for the advice to go to all kinds of different websites I strongly recommend you focus on information available at nfhs.com.

As you will quickly find out there is a lot of difference between MLB, American Legion, NCAA and IHSA rules.

Learn the NFHS rules which pertain to all IHSA high school baseball games.

You will thank me later.

Good luck and dress warmly.

I beg to differ, for a new umpire starting out learn Organized Baseball Rules (OBR.) Everything starts from there. Learn the "Mother" of all rules and it's easy to apply the differences.
