Hi men, I am sure most of you will be bored by such mundane things as this post, but for those of you in HS association hierarchies I want to ask: "What are some successful things you use to retain young umpires in your association?" I have a training class for new umpires every year, along with the local SB guys. We train guys, I check on them during the season, keep my door open for questions, and do everything i can to help them. Next year, most of them don't renew their HS card, and by three or four years in the game only a few survive. We are not a big association by any means. We seem to have a good number of SB umpires, especially since if your not willing to work it's an easy game to call (IMO) on an average or below average level. But the BB umpires are dwindling in number and if I wanted I and two or three other guys in the group could work 50 games in the HS season. We need young men to do the job the kids need, and who care about the game. Thanks for your assistance.
