Have you checked their website?  Also, once you register you will probably get a checklist of what to (and not to) bring.

I registered.  Haven't had any sort of check list sent.  I still have to send in my student enrollment agreement, maybe then they will.  Their website does not have a check list either.

I am also wondering about odds and ends to bring along as well.  Examples being a DVD player to review any possible tapeing, black/navy mock turtlenecks, how many pairs of pants would get me through, stuff like that.

You should bring all umpire equipment (labeled) and a baseball glove along with personal items you will need for your stay. Weather can vary greatly and we will be outdoors in a variety of conditions. Pack accordingly. A sport coat and tie are advised for the banquet. 

 

Undergarments and two pair of base pants should be fine.  Old towels for cleaning your shoes, laundry detergent, etc.

 

Hope this helps.

Golf Clubs if you play...It is nice to get away on sun and let your mind go free.

 

If you have them 2 pairs of base shoes ( ump-attire will be there to buy some).. but you can rotate your shoes, and your legs will thanks you for it.

 

Stretch, Stretch, Stretch.. Did i mention stretch.... start running now, and mix it it.. sprints, with distance..not sure if you work out.. but Crossfit is pretty awesome for umpiring, it has helped me a bunch.

 

Take some nice shirts, polos or golf shirts so you can look nice when your out away from campus. Read the rule book.

 

Try to remember your instructors by their 1st names.
