Umpires in So Cal??Who do I call?

[cjs]

Hi, I was looking for umpires for friendlies in Orange County, Ca (Westminster to be exact). Who do I call? How far in advance do I have to call? Is it ok to just call a guy who umpires to see if he wants to do those games..or do you have to go through channels. Just trying to get the proper procedure..
Thanks!

Best thing for you to do is contact the local Parks and Rec or your league and find out through which association they obtain their umpires. They should have the appropriate contact number for you.

No, we are ASA travel. I know we used to go through Ruth Edds and she handled assigning umpires in So Cal. I just have been out of it a few years and not sure if it is the same.

I don't care that you are a "travel" team. The umpires you need to contact are those which normally cover the area where the tournament is being held. Therefore, contact the local Parks & Rec folks or the local JO league in your area and they should point you in the right direction.

Then again, since you are an ASA team, you should have an ASA rule book which provides all the ASA contacts in your state. Call the appropriate JO commissioner and they should be able to point you in the right direction.
