If you want more intense training than we offer in Spokane on a weekly basis, a USA Softball National Umpire School is the way to go. You have missed a local opportunity in Auburn, Wash., Feb. 21-23, but a couple more schools are coming up around the country and the phase-specific Fast Pitch Camp and Slow Pitch Camp are in June.
The Fast Pitch Camp is June 18-21 in Bowling Green, Ky., and the Slow Pitch Camp will be in Portland, Ore., June 25-28. Information can be found on the USA Softball website. Just click the link and it'll take you right to the page.
