2022 USAFL UA Umpire Clinic
August 29, 2022 8PM Eastern – 5PM Pacific
Greetings to all the USAFL UA Umpires and guests. This coming Monday, AUGUST 29, 2022 is our first of two 2022 virtual umpire clinics. Our guests are Chris Donlon and Ray Chamberlain, who both have been to our Nationals multiple times before and we are privileged to have them conducting this clinic on our behalf.
BALL PLAYER PROTECTION
Preparation
In order to not run into issues with streaming during the clinic, the link below should be reviewed in advance of the clinic. Don’t worry, it is only 5:38 long, so you can review it while eating breakfast! It contains 18 clips of AFL matches covering three areas: Player Protection, High Contact, Push in the Back and Holding (the player). See notes below.
Zoom Call Details
Please join the call 5-10 minutes early if possible as we plan to start on time. The plan is for one hour, and we need to let our guests go no later than that so they can get back to their day jobs!

Save The Dates
Be sure to put a hold on your calendar for the second virtual clinic. We will send out the prep work and dial in details the week prior. Don’t worry if you are unable to make it, though, as we will be recording it and posting to our website. And of course don’t miss the Friday clinic where we will be on field with our guests to work on skills in person in preparation for the tournament.
