So I want to become an umpire

Eyeontheball100+ posts

I have been looking through old posts for what is likely an often asked question, but can't find what I'm looking for.

I've been coaching youth ball for the last 10 years and my son will be moving on to Legion and HS ball. I want to continue my direct involvement in baseball by becoming an umpire. Other than MLB and NFHS rule and case books, can anyone recommend reference material to get started? Of particular need are descriptions of umpiring technique regarding positioning, signaling, etc. I'll check with local organizations for their recommendations, but wanted to draw on the vast experience here. All info is welcome.
