A great day!
A first for me.
I got to umpire a game yesterday with my 14 yo daughter! She has played now for a few years and told me earlier this year that she wants to try umpiring. Our church has a recreational/instructional league for kids that I help out with from time to time, so this is a perfect opportunity to get her started. Just kind of a cool feeling to have your daughter as your partner!

Enjoy it Andy.
I had umpired some LL games with my son a few years back - he decided to not continue umpiring after he was 16 years old. However, I have umpired many LL softball games with my daughter during the past 3 years and this year she registered with MHSAA. She is scheduled to umpire some high school JV level double headers and I am actually working a high school JV DH with her in a couple weeks. Sweet !!! We will continue working LL softball once the high school season is completed. Great times that I truely enjoy.

From the other side...and another sport (hope y'all don't mind).
I received a contract this weekend to officiate at our State track meet in June. My father will be a referee. I had trouble sleeping last night and we are 6 weeks away. |

I'm fixing to start my 21st season umpiring with my son. We do 3rd/4th grade girls softball. Started when he was 13-14. Took a bit of work on position, etc, but he's turned into a real good umpire. And these turkey coaches are learning it is not the world series. It's rec ball. Chill....

Thanks... I've been scanning this board for quite a while, picking up useful info. Thought it time to register and put my 2 cents in where appropriate.

Steve - let me add my welcome.
It's a cool feeling to umpire with your kid! I hope I can get 20+ years out of it like you have!

That much of a reach is bad enough, but explaining it just for Mike - aaaggghhhh !

We're umpires. Sometimes, we're a little slow on the uptake.
