SUMMARY:Virtual Umpire Clinic - Wedge Theory Part I Tag Plays at the Plate
DESCRIPTION:This virtual clinic will introduce the fundamentals of wedge positioning as the official mechanic to be used by Little League Umpires for tag plays at the plate. \nClinicians will discuss wedge theory in four parts\, each of which will use video clips of Little League Umpires as examples. Participants will be introduced to a basic definition of the wedge\, as well as an explanation of its origins and evolution\, to understand the importance of using the mechanic. Video examples will be used to help teach the three basic fundamentals of wedge positioning as well as illustrating common mistakes made by umpires in using the mechanic. The clinic’s final segment will focus on using wedge theory for steal plays at the plate and end with a Q & A opportunity for all participants. \nRegister for the Virtual Umpire Clinic

SUMMARY:Virtual Umpire Clinic - Wedge Theory Part II:  Tag Plays at the Bases
DESCRIPTION:The second virtual clinic on wedge theory will focus on using the mechanic for tag plays on the bases in multi-member crews. This clinic will begin with a review of the basic concepts and fundamentals presented in Wedge Theory Part I and introduce the importance of changing our pre-pitch starting position to for umpires working first\, second\, and third base in multi-member crews. Using video examples\, clinicians will break down wedge positioning at second base for the 60 foot\, 50-70\, and 90 foot diamonds\, focusing first on steal plays and back-picks\, then introducing the concepts of rimming and sliding rather than using the traditional pivot\, and finally\, using the wedge for tag plays at second base on throws from right field\, centerfield\, and left field. The clinic’s last segment will also use video examples to illustrate how to apply the wedge for tag plays at first base and third base\, including back-pick and steal plays\, ending with a Q & A opportunity for all participants. \nRegister for the Virtual Umpire Clinic
