New ASA Gear

[DeRef]

We received a copy of the DVD at the UIC clinic this weekend. I think that it will be a very good teaching tool as everyone, if using the DVD, will be teaching the same thing. At this point, I have only seen the plate mechanics sections, but both SP and FP are covered on a split screen. IMO, the DVD is worth the money.

I first saw the DVD a week ago; our Georgia ASA is purchasing copies for all Zone UIC's, and will use it as our primary state training tool.

In my opinion, it is the best softball training tool I have seen. If the name or reputation has any meaning to you, former Deputy Director Henry Pollard (both ASA and ISF at one time) made the same statement. We were also told that Maryland/DC ASA has purchased 600 copies to distribute.

As an individual,, you may not think it is worth $35 for you. If you are responsible to train any number of umpires, it is well worth the price.
