My experience while at umpire school was unlike anything I've ever been a part of. It was so inspiring being a part of the class of 22'. We came from all walks of life to learn how to umpire but Wendelstedt sent us home with so much more. Life-long friends, memories that will last forever, and the best mentors one could ask for are just a snippet of the Wendelstedt experience. I have nothing but praises, on praises, on praises for this renown institution. Going to umpire school was hands-down one of the best decisions I had ever made in my life and I feel that every umpire, regardless of aspirations, should make that same decision and spend four weeks in Daytona Beach.
Attending Wendelstedt Umpire School is the best experience of my umpiring career. The Instructors genuinely care about each student and they want to see each student achieve their umpiring goals. Since attending Wendelstedt, I have moved on to Division 1 baseball and worked as a fill-in with a Wendelstedt Instructor. If you want to propel your career and become the best, Wendelstedt will take you there!
My goal was to Umpire in the NCAA. After 24 years of military service, I knew that training by the best opens up opportunities. All my research pointed me to Wendelstedt Umpire School.

As a long time golf instructor, it’s very easy for me to recognize passion and excellence from a teacher. This group of instructors is way beyond my greatest expectations. If you are serious and want to work hard at becoming a professional umpire, I can’t imagine there is a better place anywhere to make it happen.
I had a terrific experience surrounded by a great group of instructors. If I ever find myself struggling with pitches, I always go back to the basics I learned 29 years ago. The number one student in my class worked the plate for game seven of the 2016 World Series. He truly is the best of the best. The things I learned at Wendelstedt carried over to my football officiating and my career in the Government. You will not be disappointed. Take a chance and go seize the opportunity.
