I thought I’d check out your discussion area. I am fairly new to umpiring, been doing it now for 3 seasons. We started a month ago, and many games to come.
The trouble in Oklahoma is there are so many umpires it is hard to get to see decent ball. I am doing high-school ball, which is okay, but I would like to be able to advance further.
I understand that Softball Canada is very similar to ISF rules. I really want to learn as much as I can. My fellow umpires have told us that the Canadian umpires that do American softball are very talented.
I don’t have any great stories to share yet, since I am so now.. I’m sure they will come.
This looks like a great place to get a discussion going, is it new? I can’t see any postings.
Thank you
Robert
Hi Robert and welcome,
This is a new site, and we are just beginning the process of populating the discussion area so we welcome your opening contribution. As you might understand it is a little odd for us to hear that you are already a month into your season, since we are still a month away from the beginning of ours. We will be holding our annual two day clinic in mid April in the hope of bringing fresh candidates into the mix, while getting our own refresher in our friendly teaching environment. We appreciate the kind words about Canadian officials coming down to work games in the States. It would be terrific if some of your colleagues could come up here to work with us and get some meaningful cross border exchange going. We are hoping this discussion board will be a useful place to do some of that information exchange going on-line. Cheers, Ian Clarke
Don’t get enough games? Come to Calgary we can give you dozen a weekend. Who do you cheer for, Sooners or Cowboys?
