UMPIRING GAMES
Umpiring goes beyond enforcing rules; it's about nurturing a love for the game. Umpires should provide clear directions and encouragement to help players understand game expectations. They act as role models, promoting sportsmanship and building rapport to instill confidence. Adaptability is essential, as each game presents unique teaching opportunities, requiring patience, especially with young players. Effective communication is crucial, ensuring instructions are clear to help players grasp rules and enhance their overall game experience.
