Good info Wolf. I also heard that coaches will need to take some type of on-line training. Is that the case? If so, do you know what that link is?

Those links aren't working for me ... is it just me?

Any idea how this will be implemented by the fast pitch organizations? I no longer run tournaments but am involved with a local league where we use youth umpires. Anyone have an idea of how to approach this. Also I am not sure how TDs are going to approach this requirement or if they have any stake in the game. AS for USSSA, we haven't gotten any guidance but just went out to their legal staff for guidance. Asa, NSA, etc??

Dd had to take this training and test last night to keep her umpire's certification. It only took her a couple hours to complete the training and test. She said is wasn't bad at all- she's 14

It was pretty easy to take online. The Stingrays Tournament sent this to the teams entered a while back. It really isn't bad at all...good info.

try this one- it took less than 30 mins to complete. Unfortunately, that first hand experience with the concussion last year taught me a lot
