Inspecting the field
I'd like you opinion on a point of contention among a few members of the local umpires assoc.
When I arrive at the park, I like to get there early enough to accomplish 3 things before the plate conference. 1) a complete pregame with my partner(s) 2) inspect all the equipment, and 3) walk the fence Some of the umps around here say walking the field is overkill at the NFHS level. I say why not be prepared? Could be the NCAA work I have done? |

JFA67: Sounds good
That is the basic plan we use during the HS season. Walking the fence/field is not overkill. BTW: Both my partner and I check game equipment together. We visit one bench area then the other. Sam

Inspecting field + equipment could be also a way to approach the participants of the game without a lack of professionalism.
Teams generally appreciate when an umpire take care of every aspect of the game (but avoid being nosy)... looks like the ump is concentrate and with the right attitude... at least here in Europe. Ciao
