The Kentucky Baseball
Umpire Schools are weekend camps that feature Major League
Umpires as instructors. They include Greg Gibson, Charlie
Reliford, Larry Vanover and Sam Holbrook. Scott Kennedy, who umpires at
the AAA level, and Jack Kennedy (former pro umpire) serve as the primary
instructors at the camps. They are the only camps
sanctioned by the KHSAA to qualify umpires for postseason
tournaments. Dates for 2005 weekend camps are:
February 19-20 at St. Henry
High School in Florence, KY and
