Hello, for all those returning to the blue crew and to our new
umpires the umpire development committee would like to welcome
you and wish everyone the best in the 2014 season!
Play Ball!!
Clinics have come and gone with great
numbers. This was the first year moving into a
different clinic format including a 4hr local
umpire/beginners clinic. This is a format that
the UDC plans to improve and continue in the
years to come.
Total Clinics Held = 14
Total Registered at clinics = 199
Note: these do not include those who mailed in
