Clinics....and what you do with that information.

[WestMichiganBlue]

I do only girls FP. There is little ASA JO FP in Michigan, other than the state tournament which the powers-to-be generously sent to the west side of the state once and I had an invite to work it.

I have invested my money in ASA shirts and hats. Every year I pay my dues and attend the district and state clinic, even to driving half way across the state. Last year I spent my money for the fees and expenses of a national clinic in IN.

Why? Yes, to help myself. But primarily to maintain my skills and knowledge as a trainer for a 200 member high school umpire association. Thus I agree with Skahtboi's position:"I pay for the information, then it is mine to use, where ever I see fit to use it."
