Umpiring 101

When trying out for a new group, it is important to be prepared and ready to take on a new challenge.Do not assume that you can impress evaulators with your skills that are common in lower level baseball.Here are some important things to remember when applying to a group:

1) Read there requirements for membership. If you do not meet there standards, ask yourself why.

2)Be prepared both for on the field situations, and rules interpretations. Not knowing basic rules are an easy way to fail. Take the time and do the work neccessary.

3)Ask yourself what kind of official do you want to be. Are you satisfied working in the HS/ Over 30 area? Or are you one who wants to rise to the challenge and work at the next level? Only you can answer that question.
