Having watched the NSA Guys work in this area I didn't know they had clinics.

I will be in Raleigh working ball.

I felt the same way while at the PONY Nationals in Ohio last year.

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.

Can't speak for other areas, but, in Georgia, that is an oxymoron.

Nothing against NSA, but I'll probably never figure out how to do their strike mechanic... or their ball mechanic... and that safe mechanic, thats a toughie.. and I'm sure I'd drop my brush tossing it up at least 50% of the time.

Maybe I need an NSA clinic.

Doubt any clinic could help you. Perhaps finding a youtube video of a NSA umpire could help. A clue for you would be: They wear black NSA hats, white shirts with a NSA logo, and when wearing a jacket, it would be black with a NSA logo.

Actually, this is a HS umpire working an Indiana HS playoff game a couple years ago. Julie J showed this at either the Central Atlantic Regional or UIC Clinic last year.

That is downright shameful.
