You had to mention Clinics. What a sore spot with me. I am an ASA ump, with many years of USSSA & baseball experience as well. In the Baltimore area and each little group from all over (might be 20) has their own little pre-season meetings. Mostly to collect our money and discuss rule changes. NEVER do the local groups put up a real good clinic. Expecially I feel bad for the new guys. Once upon a time they did have meetings once per week for 5 weeks and thoroughly cover the rule book, mechanics, play situations, interpretations, tip etc.. but not anymore. If I go out of my area (say Washington DC) then they have these HUGE 300 umpire clinics, which I feel gets a bit too big. I bet we all have this problem around the country.
