I would love to be going to the school in the Dallas area this year. I know that the Metroplex umpires to be good hosts since I called a couple of FP Regionals in Fort Worth several years ago........

Unfortunately........family issues are having to take the forefront.......

Maybe next year will be better. I have been to two schools and was very happy with them both.

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

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

My understanding is that the Burlington, NC, NUS will have Dick Gaylor and Larry Montgomery. They instructed the NUS in Cary back in 2008, and they were excellent clinicians.

My understanding is that they're trying to get Kevin Ryan to stop by as well.

Just wanted to remind everyone that the National Umpire School in Burlington, NC, is still open for registration, but only for another 2 weeks. If you'd like to go, make sure you visit the link below to get Phil's contact information.

Amateur Softball Association of America (ASA)

If anyone from here is going, let me know. I hope to see you there!
