umpiring at a higher level

[Stan W]

Thanks Pete for the info.........just as an aside, I have passed the HS exam a few years ago, but my work schedule (like yours) does not make it financially feasable to umpire many Hs games....oh I fill in now and then when my assignor gets in a jam and my boss can flex my time...but on the whole....I just get to watch the last few innings..like you,.. my kids.....son HS baseball and a daughter in middle school softball certainly keeps my schedule from entertaining a serious move up.
My Association covers youth ball from 8-12, Pony league 13-14, Colt 15-16, HS, American Legion, and a semi pro county league 18-?.
I umpire 40-50 games a year, mostly summmer+fall youth ball since these are the games that start around 6pm, or on weekends........ I seriously doubt any move up can occur with my present circumstances, but it was nice to know I can handle it if I could.......
