Becoming an Umpire

[ASA/NYSSOBLUE]

See if your local hs or ASA association has a new officials clinic. Reading the rule book is not enough! A good beginners clinic run by an association is invaluable - in fact, in our hs association it is mandadtory before one can take the field. And do not be afraid to ask the qualifications of the clinicians either! We are lucky that our clinic is run by two NYS clinicians, so our newbies get 1st class training before going out into the wild.
