New Umpire Site - Feedback

[umpire_matt]

Hello everyone,

I'm new hear and last year was my first year umpiring baseball games.

When I was considering becoming an umpire I realized that there wasn't a lot of online information for soon to be umpires like myself. For this reason I created a site to help those who are on the verg of becoming an umpire.
UMPIRE SCHOOL

My goal is to encourage others who are thinking of becoming umpires to take the plunge.

I'm in the process of deciding what should go on the site and what should not. So, if you have any ideas I'd be happy to here them.

Thanks, blue06!

You could use some clarification in the college section where you specify that the Collegiate Baseball Umpire Association has certain high school requirements. You should probably link to a document which supports that.

It caught my eye because many of us are members of a similarly named organization (Alliance instead of Association) which, to my knowledge, has no such requirement.

Many local collegiate associations will substitute minor league experience (and sometimes just graduation from a professional umpire school) and offer a limited college schedule.

Hi briancurtin,

Thank you for the feedback. I think you're right, I'll see if I can add some clarification on that. I put it on my to-do list.

Hi Tim, Wow!! That's a great piece of info. I'll be sure to include that as well.
