Official First Post

So here it is. The actual first official LCUA training blog post. I simply want to show some points how this could be useful for training purposes. Maybe it will be , maybe not.

I am I guy that at times has free time and checks out other umpire sites. I know there are a few of you like that. I also know many of your have zero free time but like to relax and learn a bit when you have time. What I would like to see is us as a group try to use this medium to help supplement the training of our newer umpires. We as a group have become more and more tech savy. Powerpoints, video, the arbiter, and email. I think to myself why not a blog. We can try it for the first years as a Beta (trial) and see how it goes. We can post pictures for fun, training, and even video for training purposes. By placing a rule or situation every other day or so could promote growth amongst the new guys and maybe the vets. I for one look at umpire.org and read the forums daily, but would enjoy a discussion within the group through the week.

So here is what I propose:

1. Post regularly
2. Have members read and comment or leave opinions
3. Members email situations that they have to possibly be posted and have members discuss
4. Post pictures and video for fun and training purposes
5. Have a daily place for our umpires to visit during the week to prepare for the upcoming meeting

Any other thoughts that you would like to have happen? Thanks all
