Gentlemen:

Here is the information on the 1st annual Capital City Baseball Umpires Camp. I would like to hold this camp the weekend after Thanksgiving, Nov 28-30 2008. More than likely I will need to hold two camps.

Those who attend this camp are going to benefit from it. They will be trained as better umpires and will be

first on the call list for umpires for CCB and any out of town tournaments. Call or email for more information
