Canacdia‘s most comprehensive Driver Training Course This is the first in a series on volunteer information for the Waterioo Minor Basketball Association. Today the umpiring job is discussed. Naturally Kempel is concerned about the umpires, or lack thereof in the league, and the need for more people to volunteer their services. Kempel says the association will be receptive to anyone (yes, including women) who wish to umpire and says that anyone who volunteers will receive the necessary instruction. **Counting house leagues and tâ€"ball, we need about 36â€"40 umpires,"* said Kempel. ‘"In the past when we‘ve been short we‘ve gone with just one ump, or maybe a 13â€"yearâ€"old kid will have to ump a peeâ€"wee game. In either case we get a lot of complaints, but what can you do?" ‘*The association holds one clinic a year for house league umpires to teach positioning, angles and so on. And the Interâ€"County league in the Kâ€"W area holds an advanced clinic that concentrates more on rules. Anâ€" yone can go and there‘s no charge." **Whatever time a guy‘s got, that‘s fine,"" said Kemâ€" pel. "If he can only do one game a week, no problem. Some take as many as four or five. We work it out with our assignors." Persons who wish to volunteer as umpires can phone the Community Services Zoard at Marsland Centre or contact the association at its registration March 3 or 10. By Rick Campbell Like Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo, the Waâ€" terloo Minor Basketball Association can use as much manpower as it can muster. That‘s the word from John Kempel, who has been its umpireâ€"inâ€"chief for the past few years. Kemple said the hardest thing for an umpire to learn is positioning and to know when to anticipate plays. What a lot of people might not know is that house league umpires are paid. although minimally. And the hours aren‘t that bad, either. ‘‘The rules are basically common sense. but posiâ€" tioning is more important because if you‘re out past second making a call at first you‘re in big trouble." CAMBRIDGE 623â€"6730 KITCHENER 5$79â€"4800 ‘‘We‘ve had some problem with guys leaving beâ€" cause other leagues offer more money. Sometimes we‘re just a training ground for them."" said Kempel. ‘"Oh, we‘ve had the odd one quit because he didn‘t think it was worth it but most coaches are helpful in making the game easier for the umps. Has there been any negative reaction from people who have umpired in the past? ‘But then there‘s guys like Joe Yosurack and Ken Hergott who have been umping minor ball here in Waâ€" terloo for at least 10â€"12 years and wouldn‘t go anyâ€" where else. There are assignors for every age group, and Kemâ€" pel himself was assignor as well as umpireâ€"inâ€"chief for the allâ€"stars and bantam house league. He has given up his umpireâ€"inâ€"chief job to Jim Scharlach this year in order to coach the bantam allâ€"stars. ‘‘That doesn‘t restrict me from umpiring in other divisions. I‘ll still do some games,"" he said. Young Drivers ‘‘For them, the kids come first." van YOU help? Next: The coach.
