Uhm, is it just me wondering why a lot of those students at Wendelstedt are wearing sweatpants or jeans???

I know when I went to what was formally known as The Umpire School, everyone, and I mean EVERYONE was in proper attire. Just strikes me as odd.

Some of the pictures include the last day's events. This was the last formation and also a student-played game. This was the morning of the banquet. All of our students are required to wear full uniforms when in attendance that we provide, including poly-wool pants.

Great story. But even with any type of scrimmage game, it would kill me to put my gear on over my uniform. 

Sadly, we just had an email sent out from our HS association addressing this. I was amazed.

Wendelstedt is professional as it comes, the gear over clothes is for cage work , and to move things along more quickly. Don't let the video or pictures fool you, Wendelstedt is the real deal and can change your life .

It would be incredible to be able to go to the school.
