Softball Canada launches UmpSchool!
(Ottawa, ON) Softball Canada and the Officiating Development Committee are very pleased to launch a new tool to help umpires prepare for the 2010 season - Softball Canada UmpSchool! Softball Canada umpires can now take advantage of an effective new tool as they study the rules for the upcoming season, and prepare for 2010 certification examination.
Softball Canada has recently partnered with RuleBox Software, a company that develops test preparation tools and online training. The result is a new initiative called Softball Canada UmpSchool, and it can be used to increase your knowledge of officiating and improve your score on the Softball Canada annual examination.
When you subscribe to Softball Canada UmpSchool, you can select brief study quizzes that cover specific Softball Canada rules, or elect to take complete 50, 65, 75, 90, or 100-question practice examinations. You'll receive immediate feedback on your answers, as well as rule references so you can check on the correct ruling.
This effective new training tool is available to Softball Canada umpires for a subscription fee of only $8 USD. A subscription allows you unlimited access for the entire season!
Subscribe now, so you don't forget: http://www.ruleboxsoftware.com/softballcanada.aspx

After some fine tuning and work, the Forum system is now live. You'll have to register for an account to gain access to the forums. Registration is really easy too, all you need is a valid e-mail address. Now you can discuss Umpiring, Tips, Tricks, Upcoming Tournaments, Mechanics, Rules and pretty much anything else to do with umpiring right here on the ASUA site. Best of all, its all free. If you have any questions, contact the webmaster or post a question in the forum. We're always open to suggestions for new features so leave your comments on the forums or send it to our webmaster. |
