Between the Lines School of Umpiring Baseball

Ruben Candelaria -Presents-	A Note From Our Camp Director	ABOUT THE CAMP:
BETWEEN THE LINES SCHOOL OF UMPIRING BASEBALL SONOMA COUNTY, CA	I want you to be a better umpire. I know you already umpire the game but I'd like to help you become confident every time you step onto the field. It takes time to become appreciated as a truly good umpire. It is my goal to condense that time and help you reach your true potential so that you can earn the reputation and respect that comes with being a quality umpire. Of course, you are the one who is going to practice. We will teach you what to practice. I enjoy seeing umpires develop from average to good, and good to great. I want to be a part of that process. We believe that we can help that transformation. If you want to become a better umpire and learn the secrets that have helped my staff and I to excel, don't miss this opportunity. Ruben A. Candelaria Camp Director	On Friday we will start with Field and Plate work going through drills on movement, signals and proper positioning to help you become a confident umpire. This camp is designed to help you increase your umpiring skills, as well as help you to develop new ones. You are guaranteed to work parts of three games where you will be evaluated and video taped. You'll be able to view your work that evening by downloading the videos from a DropBox web site The goal is to give you guidance and feedback while it is fresh in your mind. There will also be "simulated" games where we will create common situations that did not occur in the real games, so you can experience them and learn from them. When you are not working a game you will be involved in chalk talks as well as drills.
