Slowpitch Umpire Basic Clinic 2018, July 27 – 29 + assessments July 30

The ESF Technical Commission is planning a Basic Clinic for Slowpitch Umpires in 2018, to be held in Riccione (Italy).

Candidates must arrive in Riccione on Friday, July 27 before 18:00h. for introductions etc. 

The clinic sessions start on Friday 27 at 20:00 and ends on Sunday 29 at around 16:00.

Assessment games will be on Monday, July 30 as part of the CSPESC 2018 Competition.

Except as below, participants will leave on Monday 30 evening or Tuesday 31 morning.

On receipt of candidates’ applications for the Course, a number will be selected to remain at Riccione as members of the ESF umpire crew for CSPESC 2018: those candidates will stay at the venue until Sunday, August 5. As assigned to the ESF umpiring crew, their transport to and from Riccione will become the responsibility of their Federations and their accommodation during the competition will be the responsibility of the organizers.

These assignments will be communicated to Federations and candidates immediately after the receipt of all candidate applications on April 15.
