Handling Situations on the Field • All parties are learning the game. • When going out to the calling umpire have a good why. • Get a explanation • Get a rule question answered • See if they can get help on the play. • Umpires are trained to talk to coaches not to engage in arguments. • If umpire gives a stop sign or walks away agree to let go move on. • If it is a situation you need to report please do. On the field is not going to end well for anyone.

(E-Mail preferred) • Game details (Date, time, location, teams) • Play situation details • Specifics of before, during, and after. • I communicate with all parties before making any decisions or final judgments. • Main purpose for game reports is to educate and improve not to discipline or black ball anyone.
