Named Exclusive Vendor for Derby City Umpire Clinic

We really like our local umpires, and Louisville has such a large cast of excellent umpires, including those with the Southeast Independent Umpires Association. So when they asked if we would be interested in becoming the exclusive vendor of the Derby City Umpire Clinic, how could we say no?

The Derby City Umpire Clinic is geared towards umpires who would like to umpire at the collegiate level. The weekend-long clinic will be held September 9-11, 2011, at the Derby City Baseball Complex in Louisville, Kentucky. Training at the camp will emphasize two man mechanics, situational awareness, handling situations, rule discussions and live game situations.

The SIUA has organized a stellar cast of instructors, field personnel and guest speakers for the clinic, including College World Series umpires Perry Costello and Jim Jackson and other D-I umpires including Scott Kennedy, John Bennett and Brandon Cooper.

As the official vendor, we are proud to provide a complimentary Diamond HOTSPORT shirt for each participant.
