dacodee Hello All, I am currently an ASA Umpire out of New Jersey. I just moved to PA and am interested in taking the NFHS Softball Umpires exam. Would anyone know the differences between ASA and NFHS Softball rules? Thanks....
CecilOne Thsi is usually considered the best source: http://www.cactusumpires.com/pages/sub/college/training.html#anchor%20bennett ASA (I think) also publishes a list in the spring. The ASA and NFHS web sites have had it at times, but not always.
CecilOne Speaking of next spring, my participation will be "off-season sporadic" for the next few months. Hope you folks can resolve all the rules, cleanup the books, and educate all the coaches in the meantime. 😉

dacodee Hello Steve M, I now live in the Easton Area (Northamption County). I was told by a basketball official that taking the PIAA exam would be a great start to be a PA umpire. Would you know the PA process? Thanks for any insight you can provide.
Steve M Yes, I'd suggest that you start with the PIAA site - piaa.org I'll look at my list & see who I know in that area.

whiskers_ump Don't give Mike the "big head". However, you will find that he fits the discription of both "dedicated" and "knowledgeable". Did I say that!
CecilOne Originally posted by JEL Irishmafia posted this a while back, it's pretty neat. http://www.dcasa.org/images/2005NFHSandASARuleDifferences.doc That's the list I referred to earlier ("ASA (I think) also publishes a list in the spring"), so I'm glad you found it first.
