This would be for the newer umpires.

Looks are important such as: shirt tucked into pants, shoes shined, proper uniform and equipment, protective equipment inside of clothes-not put on over clothes, etc.

Know the rules. Don't try to do too much like slowpitch and fastpitch. Also stay with ASA until they gain experience. The others (USSSA and NFHS) have different rules.

Always remember three rules that I was taught when I began umpiring. 1) On a close play, you will only please 50% of the people and 2) The lawn chair people will see the game better and know the rules better than the umpires and 3) Follow the ball.
