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....

Thsi is usually considered the best source:

ASA (I think) also publishes a list in the spring. The ASA and NFHS web sites have had it at times, but not always.

Unhappy
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.

Since you will be somewhere in PA, Steve M. will probably be around soon. He
can get you going.

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.

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.

Thanks a lot JEL (and Irishmafia)! This is perfect... A very knowledgeable and dedicated individual must have put this together.

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!

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.
