BTW, Even if I were in FL or any other area with constant warm weather, I would still only work April to August, September at the latest.
Come on Mike, you've got the power to get anything changed. See if you can get HS softball to be played in the Fall in Delaware. Dave

Let me see, the HS entity in Delaware canceled the umpire clinic on Thursday, yet it wasn't scheduled until Monday night. You think I had anything good to say about those folks?

Hell, I'm still pissed we didn't have the regional ASA clinic in Manassas this past weekend!

Fall softball in DE would cause the loss of a fair amount of umpires because quite a few are also football officials and they are going to work the football before softball EVERY time. And then you have people who just prefer to watch or attend football games on the fall weekends who just wouldn't be bothered.

Unlike our backwards neighbors in Georgia , we have school softball in the spring. First practice 1 Feb, first scrimage allowed 8 Feb, official play starts 8 March.

Most of the fall ASA tournaments can't start on Friday night like they do in the summer. From players who are also cheerleaders, to the players who just have to be there, to the coaches who want to watch--and, yes, the officials who are busy-- Softball starts at 8:00 AM Saturday.
