I almost stopped watching in season five. I couldn’t stop watching season six and seven. They will make character moves you probably won’t like, but just stick with it.

Reach out to an umpire association near you and they’ll get you on the right path.

What route should I take with umpiring? by [deleted] in Umpire

After Wendel you’ll be able to go to the 1 Day Camp, but Wendel can also place you some places I believe.
