MLB umpire Ted Barrett asked me to pass along information about a very unique umpire camp opportunity taking place next year. After reading information on it, it does seem like a one-of-a kind event that is not only an umpire clinic or training camp, but also has a dream style camp quality to it that is similar to what you would receive with a major league team as a player.
So whether you are looking for umpire training or to see what it is like to umpire at the major league level, this appears to be worth checking into. In addition, the camp's proceeds go to a good cause.
We are not sponsoring this event at this point, but when someone of Ted's character asks you to do something, you simply respond "yes".
Regarding the camp, Ted says:
"The Umpire Life is excited to announce 'The Umpire Life Dream Camp 2010'. Our goal is to provide you with the most amazing umpire experience ever.If you have or know of an umpire camp in your neck of the woods, feel free to add information or comment about it below.
This event is going to take place in Arlington, Texas in 'The Rangers Ballpark in Arlington' February 18-21, 2010. Your training and teaching will take place right in the stadium of the Texas Rangers. You will also get the chance to meet an incredible teaching staff that will include three legendary former Major League umpires. Bill Haller, Joe Brinkman and Ken Kaiser who will both entertain you and teach you the things that helped them through their 78 years of umpiring experience.
Please check out the link here for (more information on) this incredible opportunity. This camp is going to be limited to only 50 umpires so don't delay in reserving your spot in what is sure to be the greatest four days you ever spend umpiring!"
