March 14, from 4:30 PM to 6:30 PM. Meet near Snack Shack. No more make-up dates will be offered.
Note that the location of the February 2008 Umpire Training Clinic has changed from Dos Vientos to Cypress Elementary School.
Umpire Training will be held on the following dates and times:
The above training sessions will be conducted at Cypress Elementary School at 4200 Kimber Drive in Newbury Park. Meet in the Multipurpose Room.
These training sessions are mandatory for all new Umpires that want to Umpire any Spring 2008 NPPB games.
I will require all Umpires to be at these training dates! I will entertain and answer all your questions and/or excuses from this training on a case by case basis.
For future reference, if you have not received any basic training and/or further proficiency training prior to the Spring season you will not be Umpiring in that season.
I myself have gone to several clinics this past year and received alot of good training and information that must be passed on via our training clinics. If you feel that you do not require any extra training, please let me know, and myself or our Umpire Trainer Bill Koenig will assess your level of umpiring ability.
Our goal with NPPB Umpires is to officiate fairly, accurately and to maintain a uniform understanding of Umpiring rules and skills. Above all else to insure a safe playing environment for our Coaches and Players.
I look forward to seeing you at our training.
Respectfully,
Tim Penix
Umpire Director
