Why this Clinic?


September 19-20-21


Topeka Premier Umpire Clinic is proud to announce Jim Evans as the lead instructor for the 2008 clinic.  Jim Evans is known for his experience as a Major League Baseball umpire and for his top-rated umpire school. 


This is a three-day camp that will consist of umpiring live games.  You can learn a lot from a 2-3 hour clinic, but you learn the most from an extended camp.  Umpiring live games will help you with judgment and situations. From our staff, you will improve your skills and have one-on-one instruction from some of the best umpires in the nation.  This will be one of the best camps for either high school or college umpires.


Over the course of 3 days, there will be several college-level games played.  Therefore, This will be a high impact clinic.  There will not be much standing around.  Our goal is to have one group working each game.  While that group is umpiring, another group will be in the situations field, and another will be in the classroom.


Spots are going fast so get your registration in early.



What should you expect?


We will have some of the best instructors in the nation on staff to instruct and evaluate umpires on three man mechanics.  The focus will be on plate and base work in live game situations, as well as simulated field and cage work.  We will also have classroom sessions each day.
