Everyone thinks they can umpire.
At least that’s the impression one gets sitting in the stands.
Well, now’s your time to put up or shut up, as District 11, which includes Central Whidbey, is in need of umpires for little league season.
If you’re interested in joining the ranks of the men (and women) in blue, or are already an ump and want to refine your skills, the district is hosting a clinic Sunday, Mar. 18 in Anacortes.
It will run from 8 AM to 5 PM at Marguerite and Don Daniels Field (1915 13th Street).
This event is specifically designed for juniors umpires (players ages 10-18) to learn proper mechanics in a setting with their peers.
Western Region instructors and Regional/World Series umpires will be on hand to run the clinic.
If you’re planning to attend, they request you RSVP, so they can plan how many lunches they’ll need to provide.
Cost is $8.00 for the day and will be paid on arrival.
To RSVP, or for any questions, contact Bill Kosmas at strike_3@rocketmail.com or 360-770-6755.
