I come from a much smaller softball community.. I take it you dont know these people?
In my area.. the ASA /NFHS people.. are the same essentially, especially at the top. My point is.. have you called them and confirmed there is a no way to make the transition, considering your long time ASA back ground etc? Obviously, regionals are probably out for your first year.. but if they need umpires.. a little smarts wouldnt be bad. In our area, ASA clinics count towards your NFHS (assoc?) mandatory 16 hours of training.. so 16 hours is nothing really to me.. I did go to two of the NFHS clinics/meeting though. maybe if you attended one NFHS SB meeting.

Wade,
I'm trying to see if they will let me take the NFHS exam without taking the classes, or something like that. No final word yet. You must have NFHS certification to do high school ball in Ohio. While I'm finding out that some of the guys running this association are also ASA umpires, and both groups seem to have the same guy working as their assignor, ASA and NFHS are totally separate groups with, again, separate associations and meetings. At least the ASA meetings do not conflict with NFHS baseball. But there's still some conflict. We have an ASA National Umpire School coming up March 1st- the same day as my associations baseball field and mechanics clinic. Blowing off the baseball clinic might dock me some points with the local powers-that-be, but they have that darn thing every year and the ASA NUS only rolls through here every five years or so. |

I have a better solution! Just become a full time softball umpire. No muss, no fuss.
