The Battle Creek Parks and Recreation Department strongly recommends to all umpires to attend the 2014 Michigan USSSA Umpires Clinic either at Harper Creek High School or the Clinic in Grand Rapids. This Clinic will be in place of the Parks and Recreation Department Umpires Clinic usually held in March.
The Battle Creek Parks and Recreation will also send any umpire who attends the Clinic and submits paperwork from the Clinic will receive a $20.00 bonus on the first umpire check when working the Battle Creek League. We are asking all umpires who attend the Clinic to register with us for the 2014 season which begins in May.

I certainly hope you will make the effort to attend the 2014 Michigan USSSA Umpire Clinic and good luck to the USSSA staff in hosting of this important event.
