“Umpiring is as important to the successful conduct of a local league program as is managing and coaching” It is also a privilege to work with our children from another perspective.
As an umpire, you not only get a different perspective of the game, but you become a better coach and spectator by knowing the correct rules. As a coach that knows the rules you can properly teach your players the proper way to play the game. As a spectator, the game becomes more enjoyable because by knowing the rules, you have less questions about what just happened and you gain an understanding as to why certain decisions and calls are made.
